Car Info: 2004 Subaru STI/WRX Silver of course
Do it yourself....Throw them in the Oven 200deg for like 15min (do a search and should be able to find directions for the STI headlights or just PM DaveWRX he took his apart),carefully pull them apart wearing gloves should work seems to work for STI headlights. I'm gonna take mine apart and do the same thing take out the amber (orange) reflector pieces and paint the housing flat black should look good on a silver car....

Oh just do it. Its really easy. If you're worried about leakage (which is pretty much the only thing that can go wrong other than fingerprints) put as much caulk as you need to satisfy your nervousness. Just use high-temp paint for the inside (I used paint designed for barbecues).

Heck if I can do it you can. I put my sti lights in the oven and it worked fine. no leakage and i didnt use extra goo. just do it. i doubt anyone will have extra lights they are just gonna give you. not worth it if there isnt a little risk. if i had an extra set of lights around it wouldnt have felt so good when it worked out fine. if you do mess em up, well you gotta pay to play.
