Default Blacked out headlights (So Cal)

I'm looking for a place or someone who knows how to black out my headlights. I know there is a DYI thread on how to do it but I just simply don't trust myself doing it. If you know how to do it well or knows of a shop that does it around OC please recommend! thanks!

i am a beginner with all this car stuff to but i did this myself and it was pretty easy just time consuming. i just say if you do it yourself, the hardest part is just popping it in and out
