It's funny that even though the stock headlight has plenty of sealant, everyone still seems to think they need to add additional crap to make it seal........ If anyone doubts me, pull your headlight apart and assuming you have any common since, you will agree

Did mine a couple weeks ago and it was extremely easy as long as you take your time. Factory sealant works fine as there is so much of it, if someone is worried just add a little clear silicone with the factory sealant after heating it. I left the bottom corner peice chrome on mine and it came out extremly good, will have pics in another post after the photo taking tonight.
Looks great tho

The turn signal is the lower chrome piece. It is a separate piece attached to the black housing by a few screws. It is very easy to remove.
I left the turn signal chrome piece unpainted. Masked the top parking light area and the lower turn signal area. It came out good. Will post my pics when I download them to my computer.
