Ok So i think Im going to attempt to remove the nipples on my set of practice headlights to make it all smooth. I got a headlight restorer kit from autozone with some 800 and 1000 grift sandpaper. If it works out I may just try it on my good set. Wish me luck.

yeah man! just do it. You'll feel wayy better after its completed. Your car will look better, people will compliment you and you'll have something to talk about at car meets and stuff. Plus I think it was a fun process, i mean who nowadays puts headlights in their oven? it'll take you probably 6 hrs if you're doing it for the first time, since masking takes the longest.

I keep telling myself that I am going to do this.. I AM going to buy the paint tomorrow, maybe the paint sitting there staring at me will finally get me to do it. Which it just might, I should have access to the garage starting Sunday for a week and the weather is supposed to be nice all week.. Hopefully I will finally do this.. Later

yeah one guy on here painted the housing a rosewood cinnamon or some reddish color to match, it looked good but didn't achieve that aggressive look that the black sure does. as for the nipple on the glass, idk if you should remove that, because wont that affect the structure of the glass by weaking it, since thats where they were probably molded from?
