Heat them up with a heat gun or an oven set to about 140 I think. Double check that. The lights have clips that you need to remove first. Once thats done, they will come right apart. You need to sand down the bezel lightly and get paint. A few coats will work best. Make sure you sanded well as the paint can peel if you don't. I've used a plastic adhesion spray to help the paint stick better. Spray a few coats and then reassmeble with a silicon to seal them back up. Viola!

I didn't exactly time myself, but aside from waiting for my T1 to get to the webpage, it took me 30 seconds.
