from new to garbage in 12 minutes!!!

[JCell]

so i TRIED to paint my headlight black today, i woke up early and went over to a friends house...because my mom would never allow me to do this

so we remove the bumper and the driver side headlight, to do one at a time. we remove everthing removable and preheat the over to 250, we put it in there and set the timer to 15 minutes

note: on my oven, you have to set it to "broil" for the top to work, but apparently on his, both always work

by the time 10 minutes have passed i get a bad feeling, by 12 i can't help it and open the over...pics tell the rest

this just made my whole freaking month

Get some new ones done in black. That way you get the clear reflector too.

Yikes! Time to hit eBay for some of those black housing ones.

Nice mod! You should do a write up: "HOW NOT TO: Paint your headlights".
Just kidding.. As for your question, if the used one is like, 50 bucks, I'd say try that. You see, you didn't fail, you just found another way not to succeed. Good luck.

Here's what I was talking about:

I also noticed that there's two OEM lights who's auction is ending in an hour. Right now, they're 49 bucks apiece.
