I would take the headlights out. Three bolts so it’s not that bad, but be careful when pulling off the headlight trim because the clips break easily. I will say this if you wanting to paint them. I would spend the extra money and use vinyl. The Plasti Dip chipped very easily. So I removed the Plasti Dip and used a professional trim paint with three coats of clear. It looked great I was so happy with it. However, eventually it started chipping as well. So now I am changing vinyl. I understand that paint chips, but too me it looks awful when it is all chipped up (but that’s just me). I hope that helps.
