DIY section, check out CLEARING HEADLIGHTS DIY. Its all you need to get your headlights apart, then just pain from there on. No biggie.
In a nutshell, remove your bumper, get your lights off.
Bake your lights in the oven at 325 F for bout 2 mins. Pry the housing apart with a screw driver. Get the housing itself apart from the clear plastic.
Primer, paint the plastic to desired color, let dry.
Push headlights together, (silicone if you wish) re-bake them, same temp, same time. Pull them out of the oven, push them together REAL tight. Add more silicone, DONE!
Took me bout 4 hours full work to mine.

You do not need to bake them. ANd yes the diy for clearing them is all I used. I used krylon fusion and 400 grit sand paper. You just have to tape off what you do not want black. I then used 3m window sealant. Its just like the stuff in there already. Note be careful when putting the newly painted peice in, I had to wet sand about three times before getting it right. Also you just have to pull straight up on the peice to get it in and out.
