    are you talking about taking the headlight apart and painting the bezel?

    throw your headlight in the oven and bake at 350 for i forget how many minutes....take it out and pull the lense off then tape off the reflectors and paint it. throw headlight back in oven then put the lense back on. note....when putting lense back on apply some silicone to help seal the lense.

    Here's a good DIY for it.

    I just recently did my friend's Accord headlights.

    Good advice is to take your time and sand the bezels down it helps to get the paint sticking.

    ive, done it before. not too hard. toss em in the oven for about 2 minutes (i did this mutiple times--prolly a total of 6-10 minutes). sand down the benzel or prime it. then put however many coats of paint you want. i think i did around 5-6 coats?
