I have a question along with this... you paint everything except the chrome that reflects... but to cover the chrome do you tape it off or whatever, and clean it once your done? I dont want precipitation in my headlights, so would i just thoroughly clean them after im done?

WEll I just did mine and I painted everything that was chrome except for the Headlight BULB Bay, the turn signals I painted black. I went and bought orange bulbs that are for the 99-00 civic and they work great. You dont need the turn signals to be chrome because they are bright enough with just orange bulbs! Im at work so cant post pics, but I will later if you want!

yeah make sure that you clean the insides and make sure you seal them up after you are done, this is done with silicon sealent that you can buy at like autozone or CHecker!
