I'm looking to black out the amber part of my headlights on the TL, but I know if I do it myself, I will end up fucking it up.
If anyone has time and the experience to do this for me, I'll pay cash or whatever your heart desires for the job.

Let me know, cheers.

worried about breaking a tab or, breaking anything in general. also the fear of not closing it right after wards causing condensation. etc etc, its not the paint, that parts easy.

Take your time with it, just do it yourself. Its really not that hard, the plastic is soft when it comes out the oven, so its not that easy to snap/break. Just make sure you have someone there to help you while trying to pry the lens off, i did it by myself and it was a bit of a headache.

and sealing is easy, just go over it once its dried to make sure there arnt any holes.

Those factory lights are spensive stuff. What about just buying a set of aftermarkets and keeping the stock ones stock?

Pretty easy man, I did this last week and so far no condensation..I dont know what year TL but theres one a Kenny U pull (02 i think) and it has mint headlights..maybe get those and take those apart?

its an 08 tl type s, the base headlights are different from the type-s. i was going to buy the base headlights and try it on that but the ballast for the base and tl are different.
and yeah these headlights are pretty costly thats why i dont wanna do it myself and fuck it up.

Yup ! I do that kinda work. For that type of job it's best you bring your headlights ( or vehicle ) to me. A couple hours and your on your way.

I have a 2009 G37 Sedan, I was wondering how much it would cost to get them blacked out?
