Ok I am going to take apart my headlights again to paint the bezels. But I need some help. What inside part should I paint black? The last one (turn signal) or the last 2? I dunno I need some help.

I believe most who paint the bezel paint the whole thing. You just take that whole chrome piece out and paint it, it only goes around the inner 2 sections and it is the whole side marker section.
IMO it would look better to just paint the front of the whole bezel and leave the cup of the side marker section chrome.  Good luck!

Depending on what sealant you used the first time you may not be able to take them back apart. If you used that clear tub and tile silicone good luck because they most likely ain't commin back apart.

I need to use up all of the pics, so I might wait a couple days until I finish my tails. Then just post pics of the overall car...
