Blacking 01-03 Headlights?
Yes, I know how to search, check my join date, and I've looked at the DIY tab, but I can't find it. I followed the instructions on getting them apart and the bumper off with http://www.7thgencivic.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=155290
but I need to see part of the chrome was painted and what was left chrome. Some if it serves as a reflective piece for the parking and amber lights and I'm thinking I should not paint that. I've also looked at the 04-05 thread, but my chrome piece is different. http://www.7thgencivic.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=269401
Sorry to do this, but my bumper is off and I need some help today. Thanks guys, BUMP.

I didn't end up having much choice. The biggest issue was that the headlight had moisture damage, so when I taped the chrome, it came off with it. I ended up just painting the whole piece. It doesn't look great, but it's better than a fogged out factory light. Thanks for the help guys.
