EXT: A Complete USDM Black Housing DIY W/ PICS!!! (56K Be Warned!!!)

[JTEK24]

Yeah get a heatgun, its much more mistake proof than the oven. I placed mine in the oven and I just checked on them to see if they start to pull apart every few minutes. They came out fine so you could try a lower temp just to be on the safe side.

i like these headlights i would like to try this but im sure my wife would have a fit if i used her oven for that. and i think i would by a set of headlights other than the ones on my car. u think maybe a heat gun would work instead?

Yeah so I have the JDM 1 pieces, and didn't realize they're made of plastic and not glass. So when I took the headlight out of the oven, it appeared fogged up. But then I realized it's actually melted a tiny bit. Any way to fix it and make it look somewhat clear again, or am I fvcked?

edit: question moved to the appropriate section.

in the process of black housing my headlights, i will post pics soon

[Bcozzi71]

could you just do the yellow first than mask that?

[Speedfiend92lx]

You can do it either way. I just masked off the low beam area and painted right over the black in the high beam section.

[enVmeACCORDngly]

question about applying the yellow, do u have to mask the parts that was painted black in the high beam housing, or can you just paint over it?

Here is a pic of some Blue reflectors:

Just worried that they might be deformed, coz they're probably substandard materials.
