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.

First of all, on offense taken. Everyone on here has an ego and likes to talk big because they will never have to face the person that they rip on. This is why I don't post alot.
Anyway, I don't think $200 is that much and I am probably mistaken on the price. 985motoring or something like that is selling them from CG Lighting. If you have been involved in paint then you should know what I am talking about. I did not say that it would damage the lens, I meant it could cause a film to build up on the lens. Good to know that the lens's have vents, did not know that. I did find a thread that someone mentioned that heating the lights has caused them to fog/haze up. So I was wrong, it wasn't the paint. Anyway, everyones lights look awesome and I am either going to buy them when they are available or try it myself. Time is a major issue.
