i know this has been done many times before but questions always come up about the taking it apart so ill do my best to help and provide pics.
i used a semi gloss plastic spray from Lowes and only did the one coat. i did not sand the inside and it stuck nicely and smooth
i did not remove the bumper and you wont need to either.
you will first need to remove this black protective cover, there are several caps holding it in and a small flat blade will do the job
now there are 4 bolts holding the headlights on 3 easy to get to one PITA to get to
to remove the 4th without taking the bumper off...i un-did the bottom screws [2 on drivers side 3 on passenger side] to the fender well and i did the first two on the inside of the tire. there is enough room to get a socet in there barely. the drivers side was the more difficult side. i did not put this bolt back when i put it all back together
the bottom panel of the headlight does latch in into the fender so be carefeul here. after the headlight is removed there is a tab to pop this off
after that just unplug everything and remove headlight.
i had to be careful of my HID bulbs
next there are 5 screws, philip heads, on the back of the headlight assembly
then in the oven at 250 degrees for 8-10 mins. here i had small issue due to my 3M clear mask on the headlight..it did get a little soft but did not get ruined.
slowly pry it apart. i happened to have a gasket scraper like screw driver laying around which had a bigger head on it. this takes some time and i even placed it back in the oven a few times during this process to keep the silicone goop soft
i masked off the corner lamps at first and sprayed them last so that they would not be as dark and i removed the amber reflector. this popped out and i used the dremmel to clean it up some
and thats it. i put it all back together..and put it back in the oven for another 8 mins and pushed it all back together slowly. overall time about 2-3hrs. i didnt actually keep track of the time because i was doing other tasks at the same time.
