Default place to do headlight blackhousing

hey does anyone know of a shop that can do headlight blackhousing, preferably in san diego, but i'll take anywhere as long as i get a good job done and can guarantee them done by april 1st. i'll be leaving town for 10 days so this is the ideal time for me to get it done. also, any ideas on price? thanks in advance.

its a fairly simple concept.

open headlights using hairdryer/heatgun/oven.

CAREFULLY pry lenses off both.

disassemble shouding+surround

prep+paint

install is reverse of removal.
