Anyone have detailed instructions on how to black out your headlights? I have a white 96 civic with black trim. It's got a black mugen (sp?) grill piece and the grill in the front bumper is painted black, so I want to do my headlights to match. I know it's something about baking them... any help?

Found this recipe for 'Baked Headlights', hope it helps.
1. Remove headlights from car and place in large, non-stick baking pan
2. Pre-heat oven to 425 degrees
3. Prepare a glaze using 3/4 cup horse radish, 1/4 cup worcestershire sauce, and 1/2 cup of ketchup
4. Spread glaze evenly over headlights
5. Bake for 35 minutes or until headlights start to blacken
6. Let cool before reinstalling
