I assume the headlights are just clipped and butyl sealed together??? So they're easy to open and paint???

I don't much like the silver look, so will prolly go satin black or something (when I get some lights ;) )

They look awesome dark on your Caddy!

Yeah I did them satin they look better in the flesh.
It's a bit of a pain I used a hair dryer to soften the mastic then using a flathead screw driver I slowly prised the lenses off. Took nearly an hour per light to separate. Some people have put their whole light in the oven for a bit but I didn't like the idea of this baecause if you over it the lenses permanently mist up.
There is a guide in the how to section.

Yeah it does a little bit. Think I might spray the white bit the same colour as the van.
