Default Baking our headlights

Has anyone done this before? Please post info I should know and pics too if possible. I did this to my both of my previous civics, just wondering if the integra would be the same thing. Thanks!

post to the DIY that I used for my civic:

After I get this done I will make a DIY post with pics as well

Same procedure. The only thing that'll probably be different is the time needed to soften up the sealant. Make sure you realign your headlights afterwards!

Are you going to bake the headlights to install HID projectors or just paint them black to make them "JDM TYPE R" style?

Please don't do that to your headlights. It just doesn't look right on Integras unless you are talking about JDM sir headlights. I don't understand why you would have those though.

FYI: Don't use "Gasket Cleaner/Remover" on you headlights. It will melt the plastic.......

They are the 4 circles with 8000k hids, I just want a new look before I do the jdm conversion, still deciding on whether or not I want to do this tho.

Did it on my usdm headlights to retro-fit hids. Pre-heat oven to 400. Turn off oven and put headlight on a baking pan and place in the over for 10 minutes. Pull it out and the headlights crack open pretty easily.
