Headlight black mask - Phase 1?
#7
Phase 1 headlamps are WAY easier to mask than later ones. The headlamp glass just comes off by removing the metal clips around it, and the "black" part is just a piece of plastic which is held on by a couple of small bolts. You simply undo them and paint/wrap the plastic your desired colour.

Have a look at this post in my project thread:

They were originally reflective but the coating had long since flaked off, so I simply wrapped them in aluminium tape to get them looking shiny again. The glass is frosted so you can't see the surface that clearly through it. If you want them black, just get them out and paint them black and bang them back in. No need to buy any more parts or anything.

Hope that helps.
