This weekend I am going to paint my headlights. I have a couple of questions
1. Where does everybody get the paint? I have a silver frost cougar and am afraid I will not be able to find paint that matches.
2. Do I "have" to rip out the orange reflector?
3. If I rip out the orange reflector, do I have to put a orange bulb in?
Thanks!

if your color matching the headlights to the car your best bet is to take it to a body shop ...thats what most do...with mine i went white cause i got a red and white scheme goin on...so i didn't have to do that...but as far as the reflector goes yes you would have to take it out and you can put it back in if you want or just leave it out....i left the regular white bulb in there...heres some pics

I will buy your orange headlight reflectors if you take them out without damaging them... infact if anyone reads this who has a 99 or a 2000 and still has em laying around -- I want them.. please contact me... thanks
