You may be the first. I would assume no one has split their headlights apart yet.

Actually, here is probably your best bethttp://www.raptorretrofit.com/2015-f150-headlights/

Don't paint the reflector if you plan on staying with halogen bulbs. If you are going to split the lights apart you might as well do a retrofit.

I use to oven to do mine, but if your worried about messing up a light you can use a heat gun and open up the light one side at a time.
