are you talking about taking the headlight apart and painting the bezel?

throw your headlight in the oven and bake at 350 for i forget how many minutes....take it out and pull the lense off then tape off the reflectors and paint it. throw headlight back in oven then put the lense back on. note....when putting lense back on apply some silicone to help seal the lense.

Here's a good DIY for it.

I just recently did my friend's Accord headlights.

Good advice is to take your time and sand the bezels down it helps to get the paint sticking.

Car Toyz 2 does the best job in headlight housing blacking.
