ok guys i did it, but i did it my way and it turned out great so here it is....

oh yeah if you ruin, break, hurt or in any way damage you or your stuff thats on you! gluck

what you need is....

1 long and 1 short straight blade (flat head) screw driver
phillips head screw driver
10mm socket and ratchet
10mm wrench
oven
paint
RTV black sealent
alchol
non lent towel
windex
and time

this is what i used and i had a little over 1 can left over


ok start by popin the hood handle located by left foot if your setting in the drivers seat....


use rod to prop up hood for your safty


start by taking off these 2 10mm bolts (do same on both sides)


pop up these things with a screw driver


then start on one side and take out all the 10mm bolts around the underside of the front bumper



then tug outward on the sides in front of the wheels and the bumper will pop off


the take off the 3 10mm bolts




then softly pry up and thew head light will pop out


unplug all the lights and let the wires hang (do not touch the bulbs)


take them in the house and set them on a clean counter top or table


take off all the metal screws you can find



take out the rings and the rubber gromets


and take out these white things there is 2 on each light


turn the oven on at 225f and let it pre heat


pop 1 in at a time for 7 min then turn off the oven and let inside the oven for 3 more min. 7+3=10 min total (thats what i did and it worked perfect)


then use a screw driver to help pop the tabs all along the lip of the headlights


then start prying



there is 2 screws to get them apart now


then tape up whatever you want on them (i know its only the 26 of sep but my wife loves halloween)


i did 5 dry on dry coats


my cheerleaders (letf to right = Freddy and chewy)


then after about 45 of dry time take off the tape


i added some RTV sealent befor the next step


put them back togather and pop them back in the oven at 200f for 5 min.


make sure its all snug and BAM! your done
now reverse the DIY and put everything back togather and your done


ill get better pics in the a.m.
