Painting Your Headlights

Are you gonna smoke your headlights? You can do that yourself, theres a link on NASIOC about it, if you cant find it, let me know

Its pretty easy, all you need is an oven and a screwdriver. Most important part is not to fall asleep while your headlight assembly is IN the oven lol. Dave told us a story at the meet last night about how his friend did the oven thing, fell asleep waiting for it, woke up to find out his headlight all broken. NASIOC is down right now but I'll get you the link after its been up

Its for 04-05 Headlights but I'm pretty sure its the same concept for 06-07, just the bolt locations might be different.
