Well, you have to bake the headlights in the oven to loosen up the adhesive, pry it open while still hot, paint it, and heat it up again for the adhesive to re-seal. What could go wrong? Well, you could melt your lights, burn your house down, or both.

Reading your questions, I could say it's not going to be easy and something will go wrong.

Don't take it personally, this procedure has been covered in every automotive forum extensively, but here's a link to the procedure for a different car but its essentially the same process, you just have to find the bolts that allow you to take the bumper off and make sure you remove the bulbs. It's not hard at all and if a noob like me can do it anyone can.
