Ok,
1. Remove Grille.
2. Remove front indicator ( there is a spring that holds it in place, if you look at where the indicator would be from inside the engine bay you will see it )
To remove it slide the whole light forward being careful not to break the locating tabs.
3. In the spot where you removed the indicator from you will see 3 x 10mm bolts, you want to undo the top and bottom bolt. and then just undo the two bolts that are normally behind the grille and you are good to go.
If that isn't clear enough I can take some pics for you

How much time do you spend in a parking lot with your performance car? If you do a lot of parking lot driving, and hang out in parking lots, chances are you are a ricer, go home and read import tuner. If you’re complaining about noise you should not be modifying your car. You should also consider no longer being a man, please hand in your genitals at the door.

Arent they 12's??
Like what Tim said, once you get the grille and indicator out, its fairly straight forward.
Leave the main rubber boot/seal on the back of the headlight though, and pop the plastic plugs off the middle of the boot/seal, with a bit of strength.

I did mine ages ago.
Are you going to heat them in the oven to get the glass off?

I left mine in the oven for about 10 minutes at 140, it was super easy to get them apart, although they were, naturally, really hot haha.... the sealant didn't "snap" apart? If that makes sense, so when I re-heated them to put them back together, I didn't need to add extra sealant.

i just used a heat gun to heat the area, pryed them apart with a flatty and stanley blande run across the hot glue to make it a lil less messy than just pulling em apart (that glue will stretch for miles while its hot lol)
but yeh i think they look a hundred times better blacked out.
it was one of the first visual mods i did to my car.
although i wonder if it has any adverse effects on the light reflection through the lense??

What about a light coat of Niteshade will that have any effect on vision we did do an old headlight that no longer works to see how it looks from the outside, looked hot (light smokey look) and i dont think that light of a coat would have any effect on drivers vision, what do you all think
