arnold16890 Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone wants to work on blacking out headlights together (or removing the amber sidemarkers). I have done this on a Lancer before so I know what to do for the most part, but I don't have access to a large enough oven any more. If you have a garage and large enough oven, let's find a weekend and work on this together, hopefully you're not too far from me (Berkeley)! Let me know!

haycock Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 i dont think i will be able to make it but heres a little tip what not to do... I dont know if it was a fluke or what, but i tried to clean the inside of the lense with glass cleaner and a rag and it ended up doing something wierd with the plastic and made it hazy so i had to buff the inside of the lense until it was clear again, wich was a pain in the ass.

GTEASER Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Hey Diavolo, I got your PM earlier in the week. I'm gonna be spending most of the day Saturday installing a WL 22mm RSB and SS braided brake lines. Not sure if I can push it with the wife by trying to do more car stuff on Sunday, but we will see how Saturday goes. I think she's going to coffee with a friend Sunday morning so I may have the opportunity to "escape" for a few hours to come check out the baking process to get the headlights apart. Thanks Man!!!!

Diavolo Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 cool. you got my number if you wanna roll thru. we're gonna start in about 3 hours @ 10:30, time to get some breakfast and gather some tools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arnold16890 Posted February 12, 2013 Author Share Posted February 12, 2013 Big thanks to Diavolo on supplying a place and helping with this project. The headlights turned out REALLY good. Note for future reference: 1) Don't bother taping off the chrome ring, the chrome comes off with the painter's tape... (see pic) 2) With the bumper and headlights off, you may as well take the intake snorkel/resonator out. 3) Have your turn signal, fog, HID, or low/high beam bulbs ready in case you want to change them. (my darn turn signal bulbs arrived a day late...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diavolo Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 that was fun and easy! made a big difference in looks. now you have to wash your car and post a picture of the end product with everything back together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
