   take headlights out,
   heat them up, so glue softens enough to seperate lens from lights
   take insert out
   sand it
   prime it
   spray it
   reheat glue,
   put lens back to light
   job done

    Dont want to make another thread as I only got a simple question, could I paint my inner parts of the headlights white? instead of black?
    Will it be legal?
    
    Thanks.
