i wanted some feed back on getting my headlight painted on the inside

(I would love to have carbon fiber inserts but very pricey..)

or have them smoked from the outside not to dark being my car is white. if any1 has done this in NYC area let me know where I really want some feed back on it since most cls on here have the clear look for the headlights

I'm contemplating taking this route...



I painted the inside of my headlights on my previous ride. It was a real PIA, but the end result is def worth it!

I may just do this on to my white CLS55...

i dont think you want to smoke/tint your front headlights - if i remember correctly - i believe you take out your headlights and then heat them to break the steal from the plastic to the clear and then remove all the blubs/wires etc - and then have them painted and then put back together and then re-installed - iam sure there are some vids on youtube about how to do this....just my thoughts and what i remember from friends who had e46's
