Bake your lights, pull them apart, tape them up and spray with paint. I have a set of 2k lights that I will turn into AE lights and sell to you.

here it is on a white max...i did them for my freinds black max and it looks really good...as far as doing them...

1. i took a heat gun heated around the glued area and with a flat head pushed up slightlty. wen everthing was up then i pulled it apart....
2. then take apart the chrome part.
3.buy some automotive primer from the home depot as well as some flat black or gloss black spray paint...your choice...i personlly used the gloss cause the flat looks like crap...
4. apply 2 coats of primer and about 3 coats of paint...let dry for at least 2 hours...
5. put back the chrome part, heat up the glue on the black housing and put back the light.....tape it leave it for about 2-3 hours....


thats it

I had the OE anniversary edition headlights on my black max. Heres a pic just to show you what they look like basically the same as the homemade ones except the outermost side of the light is still chrome whereas when people paint them theirselves the entire housing is black:
