Get your self some Black paint and Silicone. I used KRYLON FUSION for Plastic. you dont need to sand or prime. was like $6.88. and Mastercraft Window and Door Silicone for like $3.29.

From there. pull out your headlights. you dont have to remove your bumper. but it does make it ez'er. 5 screws on the top and 2 in the fender wells remove the bumper. dont forget to take off the 5 metal clips on the headlights.

preheat your oven to 325C and stick your headlight (I did one at a time) for 5-8 mins. take a flat screwdriver and pry them apart.

Get some tape and news paper and tape up the part you dont want sprayed.

From there. clean em down with some paint thinner or something like that. let them dry and spray em. I gave them a good 5-6 coats to get them covered nice.

Let them dry. Mine was an hour. put some Silicone around the housing and put them glass back on. (I left the old Silicone on) and dont forget the 5 metal clips.

I dont have the pictures anymore, I'll try and find them tomorrow.

do you still have the pictures?
what part should i not paint?
