tools needed:
Blade Screwdriver

Timer
10mm socket
socket wrench

I did this on my 96 GA but im sure it will work with other gens.
ok first off you gotta remove the bolts that hold the headlight in place with the socket attached to the socket wrench.
Take your headlight to where you have the oven.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F

now we will take the bulbs out of the headlight.I thought about taking out the headlight assembly but was lazy so i left it on. If you want to u can take it off. I did however remove the rubber things on the back of the headlights.
Now we remove the metal clips that hold the clear lens on.

When the oven is at temperature place the headlight in side for 3 mins.

Mines came off fairly easy after 3min. But if you still have a little trouble then leave longer But do so with caution. When I removed the headlight it was warm not hot.
Quickly grab a Blade screwdriver and pry the front lens off.

Now the hardest part is taping off the area not to paint. Which will be the diamond cut area.(where the bulb goes)

Paint the headlight what ever color you want. I went with white because well the rest of the car is accented in white.

now carfully remove the tape. I ran a razer around the tape so i wouldnt lift any of the paint.

Now we put the lens back on. I ran a bead of silicone around the headlight then placed the lens back on. I replaced the metal clips and then you just let it cure.
