Yes... Mine were removed when my headlights were painted.

The process is pretty involved... Search headlight painting for the DIY.

Oh just give him a few links.

Here a step by step Cube did - GREAT STUFF!

DIY: Painting your headlights

And of course, an example of BB's work on his own car (above this post)

Evilution has an awesome tutorial, though this same link is in Cube's thread

451 Headlight strip


and IF you were a SCOA Club member Dunerunner set up an AWESOME links section (thread) in there that is essentially a one stop shop for most anything you'd ever think up that you may want to do to your Smart.

I can't stand the search feature on most forums. Never could get it right unless someone was clever enough to put in a key word in the title.
