Sounds easy, but I am to lazy, $200 for a pair and all i have to do is install sounds good to me.

No offense, but spending $200 for a set is just silly when you can do it yourself for about $10 and +/- 6 hours of free time. Sorry, not trying to start anything, but that just strikes me as odd. $10+6 hours of something entertaining and you have the pride of doing it yourself vs. $200 and wonder if the person did it to your liking. Don't be scared of the mod...I'm lazy and I have not only done it to my F-150, but my Tundra, and now robsatx's Tundra. It's really no big deal...
And also, the Tundra light housings have a "vent" in them, if you take a gander at the back of your light you will see it, specifically to prevent moisture buildup inside the headlights. I'm sure if moisture can vent through that, then so can the fumes. I've never heard of that problem, and I've also been involved with paint and automotive, as a hobby and as employment. Maybe if you used some really bad paint...or covered the vent for some reason, then that problem might develop...but for one good can paint that's going to last on someone's headlight, we're talking $3-6...why wold they buy the cheap stuff anyway? And that's just assuming that the thread you are referring to was caused by bad/cheap paint in the first place. I highly doubt that it will cause any damage.
