How do you black out your headlights

I went through 13 pages and couldn't find a thread on how to black your front headlight housings. Anyone have a DIY. I was planning on buying a pair of headlights from a black fit at the dealership and figure that'd be a lil expensive.

In short, bake them in the oven to get the glue hot enough to pry open. Open them, paint them, seal them by putting them back into the oven.
