For people doing this, should I be worried about putting a clear coat for longevity? Or is it fine with just painting it and it wont fade or anything down the line?

Keep seeing the FRS ones , first time I've seen these ones done so big thanks for sharing.
Mine will be done the same but with added halo indicators since I'll definitely remove factory indicators/fog light for a functional vent.

Did you preheat the oven to 225 or gradually allow it to heat up with lights in? Never had the balls to try and bake my headlights.

Thinking about using this for the lights (front and back) anyone have reservations?

I can't seem to get the side markers off for the life of me. I've read every guide but still suck. Any tips?

Just make sure you took out the plastic pop-pin thing behind it. Then they should just pull straight out.
