Painting Corner Lights. HELP!

I have done a search in the "how to's" and all I could find were instructions on how to make AE headlights. Does anyone know how to paint the inside of the corner lights? Is it the same process as the AE headlight mod? Help!

AE headlights basically paints the edge of the headlight... i assume u wanna "tint" ur corner lights to get the same effect... u can pick up a bottle of nitespray paint and lightly spray across the surface of the lense to get that effect.

if u wanna do the hard way, aka heat up the corner lense in the oven and pry it out...then good luck to u

Same process...you just dont mask off anything in the corner lense and paint everything in there.

Yeah I'm talking about doing it the hard way because imo it will look 100x better than just painting the outer lense.

So I guess it is the same process as heating and prying? Also, would you recommend painting the whole corner housing black, or should I leave a portion in the middle chrome? Does anyone have pics of this mod?
