Default need some help

Ok I got a few questions just need some help. How do I pull apart headlights to have them painted? And I need to know how to re-seal them. Part 2 does the type r conversion bolt straight on,and am I going to have to work on getting them to fit right9JDM type). Part 3 how hard is it to pull off my doors and put them back on. All of this on 99 acura integra. Ok last question to make a 92 ls motor fit into a 99 civic what all do I need to have for the complete swap and your more than welcome to throw me some prices thanks.

not sure on painting teg lights, but for the civic:

take off your bumper, unbolt the 4 bolts holding the headlights on, use a heat gun to heat up the caulk holding the 2 pieces together, slowly pry the pieces apart. Take out the middle crome piece(2 screws holding it onto lens), and paint. to put it back together to everything backwards, but use the heatgun to heat the caulk back up and then put the headlights back together.

yea you can do that, but if you dont have a heat gun, just put them in the oven on 350-375 for like 3 minutes allready pre-heated. NO LONGER THAN 3 MINUTES!!
