Overlays is a option. and yes the headlight is sealed. They have to unseal it and take it apart. paint it and glue it back together and make it look like nothing happened. lol

if you're talking about painting the housing, you have to bake the light, paint it, then bake it again to seal it.

there are a handful of DIY's on baking both here and on YouTube. but I would advise against it if you've never done it before

I think a lot of people would be willing to trade + cash for your lights if you post them up.
