I followed the 02-03 headlight blackingout how-to on blacking my 04 ES headlights.

Materials needed:
10mm wrench, phillips (+) screw driver, 2 flat head screw drivers, a sharp knife or scissors that you won't be using again, 2 towels, primer spray paint, spray paint (color of your hcoice, most do gloss black or metalic black) and silicone sealant.

1) unscrew the 3 bolts holding the headlights in place

 

2) there is also a clip holding the headlights in place, located roughy behind the long orange side marker. just pull ur headlights a lil harder.

 

3) preheat ur oven to 275F, have a cookie sheet and a wet towel ready.

 

4) place headilghts 1 at a time on the wet towel on the cookie sheet. This prevents the bottom plastic of ur headlights from being burned and stuck on to the sookie sheet.

 

5) "Bake" ur headlights for around 5 minutes. Then take to a place where u will be comfortable sitting in for around an hour.

 

6) use a flat head screw driver to start prying the black plastic clips.

 

7) Pull the lense from the black plastic part carefully, cut the silicone sealant with a knife or scissors.

 

8) almost there~~

 

9) Voila! now unscrew the 2 screws holding the chrome piece on to the lense

 

10) take to a dust-free place (i messed up on this part...forgot to close my garage door so there was hella dust)
-Start spraying primer

 

nice write up man!

 

11) apply 3 even coats of primer, wait 15minutes between each application
lol i moved my no-bumper car outside, also kicked my cousin's car out of the garage so i could spray paint~ dont worry, u dont have to take off ur bumper to take out the lights.

 

12) apply 3 coats of color paint. wait 15 mins between each spray
note: i also painted over the long orange pieces because if u take them out u're left with 2 holes.

 

13) Done with the spraying~ looks hella good already!

 

14) DONE! i recommand letting the paint dry over a night ebfore u put everything back together
