    I think next week I might mess around with baking my headlights. Thought about paining the inside of the bezels but I'm not sure if I want to or not.
    I cannot stress this enough.

    Be extremely careful if you have to mask any part of your headlight bucket where it's chrome plated.

    It takes almost nothing to lift the chrome on headlights with tape. I usually use 3M masking tape, but use the late like a lint roller for a few minutes before sticking it down. Makes it less likely to adhere and lift the chrome.

        Damn. This makes me not even want to mess with painting them. lol

        I mainly want to take them apart to get the amber pieces out and clean the water spots off the lenses when there was condensation in them.

              It's a pain in the ass, but it isn't too bad if you're careful. I did the black eye mod on my Prelude, I'll post a picture when I get back to my desk.

              Cleaning lenses must be done carefully too, plastic scratches easily. Microfiber cloth and some soapy water with dish soap to wash, then rinse with water and dry with a chamois or equivalent.

                  I always heard to use a q-tip and vasceline and coat the chrome so you could wipe the overspray off.

                      Hard to get a good, crisp edge that way though.

                      Automotive wax applied with a Q-Tip works well when painting valve covers and covering letters.
