Ta,
I painted them myself, also painted my dad's futura years ago, they have a similar construction, there is a thread somewhere here about painting au headlight bezels, the only hassle is the clear lenses over the indicators, the tabs break no matter how careful or or slowly you try to remove them, and the chrome coating on the bezel needs to be rubbed back with a scotch pad etc because if you breath on it, it will flake off.
Dont use Sika flex to seal it up as you wont be able to open it back up again, use a butyl mastic rubber type goo which does not harden instead (clean up with wax and grease remover).
You could buy a damaged headlight from a wrecker and practice your skill.

A limited edition fairlane called millenium was released in 2000 with the black lights, they are rare, also the the T series had body colour lights.

It most likely wasn't my car you saw as it is no where near drool worthy, it's more like something you see in your periphery and just ignore.

I will probably open mine up again this winter to fix up a few imperfections, possibly a colour change to body colour or dark grey, and fit day time running light leds inside somewhere.

If you want, you can watch me break mine so you can do yours??

cheers, Andrew.
