Benzero, looks great.
What brand and where did you get the headlight kit.
I just picked up a 2002 MP5 with 95k. Got a few small dents and the headlights are fogged on the outside and some melting took place on the inside of headlights. Looks like when they replaced the bulb, they tossed the old bulbs with the adapters. Bulbs are all cocked, not properly seated. Looks like a Fry Daddy gone wild. So, if i got to replace them I want to black them out from the start front and rear. I'm also going to have to I guess go to the dealer for the adapters.
Here is what i'm thinking of buying in the next day or so. I just want to make sure these will fit the MP5.
Any input would be great Benzero..

Find a Canadian member wanting chrome and trade em, or, shell out $600+ and order em from the dealer.
You could get the sedan black'd from Ebay, but, then you've gotta do some wiring

any idea where to get the correct ones then that are blacked out. Not even going to attempt what you did. Great job by the way, especially know knowing you did it by hand.
It's not hard at all.
Simplist way to explain, pull the bumper, remove all bulbs, remove headlight assembly.
Bake in oven at *** (gotta look up the temp) for * minutes(gotta look it up too)
Remove from oven, use a flathead screwdriver to pop the tabs holding the clear lens on the house. Pry off lens, if not coming off, heat a little longer
Remove screws holding reflector in housing. Remove reflector from chrome shield.
Sand chrome enough to rough it up, Wipe down shield, spray paint it, 2 coats for even coating
Reassemble, bake again, optional to use silicon to reseal light assembly to avoid condensation (I didn't and have had no problems but some people like to play it safe reassemble car
After showing my wife the white pro5 with headlights painted, I'll now be doing hers. I promise to take pics to update the How-to thread
