I can't find the thread but someone did open their headlights to enblack them.
think it involved placing in an oven to soften the sealant afore prising apart

Sure I read somewhere that the chrome finish inside is so fragile that if you touch it it will mark it forever and ruin it, no way can you mask it to not paint the reflector....

Could be wrong though... Pete

I'm in the process of painting the inside of the headlights, but also upgrading the xenon light (inc lens) to a much better performing more modern unit, and adding some LED DRL/Indicator rings at the same time.

Also painting the frame of the grill to the same colour as the lights. will post results.
