black out headlight DIY

I found one but just because it was ok but not as detailed as I need. I am wondering does anyone else have one with pics and directions as well? Just trying to get an idea of how this is done.

there is a link also to blacking out your headlights inside this thread

Thats the one i used, it's really informative and helpful. I can add a few things to help you a little more:

Once you have the headlight cracked open and you are removing the trim pieces to paint, in that How-To the guy says not to back the adjustment bolts on the back all the way out and that the chrome housing piece will just snap off eventually. What I found couldn't be farther from the truth, there were about 4 screws holding that chrome piece on the backside, and you had to remove the projector entirely to get to them. Unfortunately, now my headlights are uneven and the easy way of adjusting them doesnt work and I havent been able to try to adjust them with the harder to get to bolts yet.

I'd say, when you are putting them back together, remember how many turns you gave each bolt so they are even.

I see cool. Did you try adjusting the HLs while your bumber was still off so you could remove the light if needed?
