This is a quicky, I must have removed my headlights half a dozen times by now, but if you don't know how to remove the headlights, use this DIY http://www.audiworld.com/tech/ext5.shtml. It is a good idea to do the DIY silver corner bulbs then do the corner light mod so the bulbs can dry.
It should take an hour or less for both DIYs if you include drying time.
DIY silver corner bulbs
You will need;
-chrome or silver spray paint (has to be durable enough to withstand a little bit of heat, high temp paint is not necessary because I don't think the corner bulbs will get to hot).
-empty kleenex box
-masking tape
-gloves
-scissors
-alcohol
Once the headlights are out, remove the bulbs and clean the glass part with alcohol and let dry for a minute or too. With the gloves on, tape around the leads of the bulbs so you don't end up painting those. You only want the glass part of the bulbs to be exposed. Have your empty kleenex box upside down and cut 2 stripes in it apart from each other so you can place the bulbs in there, which the bases in the openings so they stay in place. Shake the spray paint and do a single LIGHT coat so the bulb is covered in paint, but still can give off light. To check it, just place the bulbs under direct light like a flashlight and see if you can kinda see through it. Let dry and start on corner light mod.
Much better
No more egg yoke!
