Few hours because of soaking and drying time When I finally got my new 99 JDM front bumper on my car I absolutely loved it. There was however one little thing that seemed to bug me. The new turn signals have an entirely black housing on the inside, where the fog lights have a grey housing and chrome reflectors. Personally I did not like the contrast in the two especially because of how close those two lights are to each other. So I set out to change that. Let me tell you, it was not the most easy of projects. I purchased new fog lights as well, and I couldn't imagine how difficult this would be with 14 year old fog lights, personally I wouldn't even attempt it. The first step in this process is to follow the glare guard removal process because now that the insides will be completely black I'm sure you'll lose some visibility by doing this, so I recommend removing the glare guard. The guide to removing the glare guard can be found by following this link. http://www.twinturbo.net/ttnettech/glareguard/glareguard.html Once the glare guard is removed the hard part begins. Take a look at the lense of the fog light, it is actually made up of 3 seperate pieces. The two pieces on the ends are made of plastic and are held on by little plastic nubs. The center piece is of course made of glass and is held on by some really tough to remove grey adhesive. Removing the two side pieces is a bit tricky on its own, just be patient and don't force anything as you don't want to crack or snap a piece. After the two side pieces are removed now you're left with the main glass part. Take a hair dryer or heat gun to it and soften up the adhesive. Once it's soft enough get something like an oven mitt (I'm not kidding) and push the glass piece out. In order to get the adhesive soft enough the glass tends to get quite hot and maybe I'm just a wuss, but it's more than hot enough to give you a slight burn if you push on it for too long without protection. Once you've managed to get the glass piece out the really really fun part starts. You'll have grey adhesive still stuck to the glass, this must be removed. In order to do this I soaked one side of the glass at a time in a puddle of "Goo Gone" for about 15 minutes then attacked it with a tooth brush. This worked fairly well but it also creates a slightly sticky film and it must be washed off later with soap and water. This part was by far the most time consuming. As for the adhesive in the housing, just remove the excess, you don't need to remove it all, or even most of it for that matter, just enough to clean it up a bit. I'll explain why you need to remove the adhesive in a little while. While you are doing the soaking and stuff like that you can actually start painting the fog light housing black. I used a "Gloss Black" called "Fuzion for Plastic" by "Krylon" I taped off all screw holes and the screw in the front of the housing. Give it a few coats, just enough to give an even coverage. Don't worry about painting over the adhesive, you actually need to, you won't be re-using it anyways. Also you will paint the reflector black, I used the same paint even though it says it's for plastic it seemed to also give a nice even surface on the reflector. OK, now for why you actually need to do all this adhesive work. If you don't remove the grey adhesive, you end up with a grey border around the edges of the glass on the fog light, this doesn't look quite right and ruins the look, I found this out the hard way after I had done a great job masking off the glass and painting everything else, here is a pic showing the difference of one with the adhesive removed, and one without. The light on the left still has the grey adhesive on it, the one on the right does not. (and yes I know I need a new camera) 
After your glass is all cleaned up and free from grey adhesive and your housing is painted all pretty black it's time for re-assemble. Take your clear silicone and lay a bead right along where the old adhesive was on the housing making sure to lay a constant bead with no breaks, or you'll have fun with condensation, and press the glass into it. Hold the glass in place for a few minutes making sure that it is settling evenly on all sides. Once it's settled which only takes a few minutes, re assemble the fog light (follow the disassembly backwards) Here are a few pics of what it looks like on the car. 
Like the dent on the passenger side? Some stupid lady backed into my car in a gas station parking lot not two months after I got my new bumper! 
Now to compare it to how it normally looks: 
After all is said and done it should look at least in my opinion much better than the normal way. Hope this was of some help to anyone with a JDM front bumper. Enjoy!
