TundraGeneral discussion forum for the 2007 and later Toyota Tundra.
This is a discussion thread titled "DIY: Black Headlight Mod with Video Tutorial", within the Tundra forum, part of the Truck Forums category.
i was worried about the paint actually evaporating and fogging up the glass, so what i did was actually bake the parts that i painted at a very low 150 degrees for about 10 minutes after they were fully dry. i did this hoping that whatever chemicals there are in the spray would dissappear from the heat.
Just did my headlights today. Thanks a bunch to 006 for the awesome instructions and video. Here are some pics.

I finally talked myself into doing it today. I have one side done and am waiting for the paint to dry on headlight #2. The writeup is a lifesaver. I found the best method for reassembly was another 9 minutes in the oven after painting to heat up the adhesive. Pics coming shortly.
Edit: All done
