DIY homemade JDM headlights

first off i have a 98 civic. I heard you can remove the lenses and paint the inside black, rather than buying cheap ones. is that true?

EZ whitey you mite break y0 tongue

mugen, there is no trick, but it doesnt exactly POP OFF... haha... it's glued on, leave it in the sun, have your g/f help you... you pry it, and she cuts the glue as you pry... but be sure to undo the clips. It'll become quite clear what you gotta do once you start.

Theres a front portion on the lense that you paint so just the reflective part is show and not the outside.

Not exactly jdm lights as you won't have city lights

But yes it can be done and is not to hard. You need to use your oven cause the sun won't do **** this time of year.
