Default Headlight Question

Is there a way to remove the clear plastic cover of our headlights? I want to paint the inside of my headlights to match the body, like this..

Pop the hood and check it out. I can't remember right now(thanks to the alchohol), but I think you can manage something.

Yes there is a way to Paint the inside of the headlights, this is a rough list of things to do... you will need to research on your own the proper procedure on doing this, I know people on MSPROTEGE.com they have a how to section on how to paint headlights..

1. remove headlight assembly
2. bake for 20 minutes at 200 degrees
3. carefully pry apart the clear plastic lense
4. Seperate the inner headlight from the trim piece
5. sand down the trim piece and then primer
6. Use a good high heat spray paint
7. let both headlights dry, then reassemble
8. Use some good quality Butyl Rubber to adhere the clear lense to the headlight assembly
9. Reinstall the headlight, bumper, etc...
10. Enjoy!!
