when you open them up, it all comes apart and you will see what part to paint. the housing is its own separate peice.

you don't think that black headlights will look kinda weird on a greenish whatever color car you have? my car is white, and i think that if i did them black, it might look strange. ne1 got pics of blacked out 95-96ers on a non-black car? i see that farmdogg did them the same color as his car, and it looks pretty pimp, but... poop-green headlights? white might even look ghey. cya, and post pix if you got em.

Are you referring to the housing for the headlights? If so they are already black... Here is mine in Silver.

I love them cause they are unique...noone else i have seen has them. The center looks good in person though. Yea, Ill take a picture of them as soon as my exhaust is done being installed. Oh, I payed $265 for them but thats from a shop, not off online.

Edit: and the center piece has 2 removable things in the back of the lens so if you want to do the center illum. mod, then it is really easy.
