Does anyone on here offer a de-tangoing service for blobeye headlights, had a look at doing it myself but it looks tricky, think I'd rather pay someone who knows what they're doing

Is there a certain black paint you need to use for the heat off the bulbs as I'm thinking the black insert option too
