is it possible to take the glass part of the headlight off the plastic housing without screwing it up? want to clean it out!

 

Yeah I did it. Put them in the oven at 210-250 for about 10 minutes. Keep an eye on it though, and pry it open. I blackhoused mine.

 

When he says keep an eye on it.. i would HIGHLY suggest u do just that, my uncle and i did this. walked off for 10-15 mins came back and the headlight had literally blew up lol

 

Yeah, really keep an eye on it. Its probably super cold in Oregon so I would even suggest keeping your headlights inside to warm up before you just put them in the oven, that can crack the glass.

 

u seriously put then in the oven, lol....u cant use a torch or somethin whats the purpose of the oven??

 

any pics, i also want to do this!

 

No pics of the process sorry. You can use a torch but you can melt the plastic on the back half. By using an oven you heat up the sealant just enough so you can pry it from the backing. I highly suggest not using a torch.

 

what about sealing it back up?? do i use some sort of silicon or what??

 

You can really use any sealant. But I just put it back in the oven and heated the sealant back up and just pushed them back together. Been fine for about 2 years now.

 

idid this to mine painted it black housing then the high beam reflector part i spray painted it a flourecent yellow for the high beam you can use just about any type of silicone. good luck!

 

im kinda sketchy on the whole stove thing!

 

bet you guys with the black housing cant see ****!

 

i did it to my old headlights...looked sick but even with hid's you couldnt see ****

 

thats what i was wondering too!

 

they dont paint the reflector so the light output should not change. all that is painted is the sides and bottom of the housing

 

lol

 

you should really only leave them in for 4.5 minutes,

 

Yeah, helped my brother do this with his tC headlights, put it in the over at 350 for 5-10 minutes. Put on some oven gloves get a knife or a flat head screwdriver and begin prying open the headlights.

To re-seal it either bake it again and squeeze or clamp them quick and let them sit for a while, or buy black sealant.
