A.K.A. the 'Joey Mod' on Mk4 Golfs and even Mk3's now.
Definitely a DIY job on the black 9n.
Looks allright though!

to do this you have to heat your lights in a oven (65 C) to heat the glue, (to remove the glass that holds thereflector).. after painting the reflector, you just heat it again to glue the glass back on...

on euro lights you have to heat the glue with a heaty gun and very slowly prise the lense off (about an hour each
) then to refit use bath sealent
