Just finished blacking out lights this weekend!
Took me from 6PM saturday night to 10pm sunday night... but it seems it came out pretty clean. I replaced the parking amber light with amber LED, looks pretty good. The rears are done, i'm waiting for the silicon to cure, waiting apx, 24 hours before I go ahead the slap them on.
Here's the pictures (sorry, no pictures of during the process.... i totally forgot about it)

Oh, yeah the tails were the hardest while working on them.
That sealant is on VERY VERY tight and no matter how much I heated it up with heat gun it was impossible. The thickness of glue is about 1/16" and it was okay to just dreamal through it. It took about 30 min each tail to dremal it clean and the burning glue smell was pretty bad...
So dremal helped out very much.
The new sealant I used was black silicon and i've pretty much made sure it's all around and no missed spots. I ran it over once more after it cured a bit. and now waiting 24 hours to cure fully.
----------
Opened it, look the chrom part out, Sanded it down good so the white shows, than primered it 3 layer, very light layers, and painted it black, 3 layers.
The paint i used was High Heat Primer and High Heat flat and semi-gloss black.
