Black headlights

Recommended Posts

Im looking for a set of headlights with the insides painted black.

 

Im in two minds to either give it ago my self or just buy a set.

 

My lights are jspec but in very good condition.

 

 

How hard is it to get them apart?

I would have a go at doing this yourself.

The thread for doing it is here

It is from this forum so if you have any issues you just need to ask.

I am going to do this to my J-specs also. The main reason to remove mine is to give them a thorough clean and polish.

All you need to remember is to be patient and don't have the oven up too high. :flame:

I find the hardest part to be removing the bloody units without scratching the bumper.

That would be the only thing i would change about that thread.

I think 200degrees is too high especially for the plastic headlights bits.

I would prefer to leave them in a littler longer at a lower temp (60-70). the idea is only to soften up the sealant around the lense.

If you leave in to long you run the risk of warping the body and lense.
