instructions on taking headlights apart..
remove the headlight from the car
heat gun the damn thing up.. take your time and go slow, don't over heat. i recommend a flat head screw driver to pry apart the headlight, SLOWLY, dont crack the plastic stuff, DON'T rush.
clean it out with windex and paper towel, tedious work here
heat up silicon in headlight and plastic casing and reconnect
repeat for the other one and make your friend not wear a dress ever ever ever again

Thinking of doing the same to my car but cops where I live make to much of a big deal about things like that. Attracts to much attention.

Looks good.
So all you did was use a brush and paint it on? Might take longer than spraying, but it's neater and less of a chance to mess up. Did you put a clear coat on them?

Obviously - from the looks of your friend- the workplace was not adequately ventilated. Get him some oxygen before that last brain cell is gone!!!!
Brakes look great, though.
