If searched and searched but cannot find what I want
lots if headlight retros and videos of separating lens from body
but I want to separate then paint the CHROME.
On the videos that I have seen this part stays on the lense.
How do you separate this fromt the lense?

I want to remove the lense then paint the CHROME

 

?? Remove the clear lens, then remove the bezel from the housing, then you should be where you want to be. I am a little confused.

 

Dont paint the chrome reflector bowl unless youre putting projectors in.

 

The chrome bezel is separate from the lens for both the headlight and the tail light. The only difference is you can heat up the headlight and separate the lens from the bezel. The tail light would require carefully cutting around the inside perimeter and then sealing it back up when you are done. Easier just to buy new tail lights.

 

How is the bezel separated from the lense??
heat then pry it off??

 

a couple phillips screws.

 

So once you separate the lense from the housing the chrome bezel is attached with screws??

then you can just paint he bezel any color you want!!!
I was looking at just buying black headlights but I think I'm going to be taking mine apart

 

Here's the painting process and parts when taken apart. If you're keeping chrome obviously you don't want to do the reflector bowl. Tail lights are a whole different story, there's a thread that details opening those and its a very complicated process.
