Definitely do it yourself! Only cost me 15 bucks for paint, Including primer, black, and clear! Came out amazing!

These are the ones I want to order when I get around to doing it. I like the white reflector instead of the orange or no reflector
How much are they? I'm worried about doing it myself because I don't want to break anything or take it apart and it leak after, how hard was it to do? I hear its complicated and easy to screw up

I did mine too. I used the heat gun method and they came out great. I even blacked out the cone that shields the light bulb for the true Harley look.

The trick to the heat gun method is to strap the headlight to a chair or a pole on its backside with string or zip ties. Then just work the heat gun around and pull the lens off slowly.
