Size:  1.18 MBYour can is going to be down for about a week either way. Yes, with shipping maybe a bit longer. It'll take the body shop a few days to paint and then it's going to take time to re install...If you wanted LEDS-even longer. This type of mod is not a quick 1-2 days event...I know from painting my own.

^youre right about the bodyshop that it may take a few days to paint but if I was using rattle can it can be done within a few hours. With LEDs a days time max.

NO RATTLE CAN....! pls dont do it. It wont last and with the amount of time it'll take you to disassemble and reassemble the front end.....bite the bullet and take the time.
just my 2 cents..

So were you able to find somebody that was willing to work on your headlights for you in SFL? I just need somebody to open mine up and remove the orange reflector strip...don't need anything painted or any LEDs added. I know there are a ton of DIYs on this but I don't want to mess anything up since it's a pretty involved process to remove and open the headlights
