please do cause I'm looking to do it and heard some veriations on the how to's

 

- remove bumper
- remove headlights
- remove lights/rubber from unit
- 8 minutes at 200 degrees on tray
- Start prying open with screwdriver....may have to put back in oven for 2 minutes
- tape off turnsignal area
- prime
- paint a few coats (i used charcoal metallic paint)
- let dry
- assemble housing, put back in oven for 8 minutes at 200 degrees
- push back together tightly when hot
- apply silicon to unit for extra water protection
-put back on car.. (duh)

Any questions ask........
-

 

how hard is it to pry apart? any concern with breaking?

 

Doing the first one is hard, but I just put it back in the oven. By the time you get to the second one you know what your doing.

 

me neither

edit: pics work. nice work man

Have you tried we-todd-did-racing?

 

Imagestation is back up now, so I uploaded them all again. Can yall see em now?

 

yea, nice

 

neeeto....I like it .

 

Looks Good

 

damn that looks good, i dont have the guts to cut up my stock headlight thats why i went with the stanley sir headlights for my accord.

 

Looks good bro!

 

If you guys do it, I say start early in the day. I was outside with a flashlight putting my **** back on my car.

 

I go one step further than you...I am too cheap to buy good ones...so I got a cheap brand from ebay

...they work pretty good though, and look good, so I won't give people a bad impression of the makers by exposing their name.

 

.....more TIPS.

-Carefull peeling up the masking tape. It pulled off a little of the chrome.
-Do really light layers of paint

 

looks great! Good info as well

 

Not too shabby.....looks good...

 

This is possible to do with a crx correct? Also what do you use to put them back together, like what kinda adhesive? Also what is the area you speak of to tape over? on a crx i would not need to do this correcT? Thank you.

i've seen it done on an EG, its sort of like a crx

 

These kind look better than some of the Stanley JDM headlights. Probably not as good light output, but still, they look dope.

I wouldn't have the guts thought to break apart my headlights and do it. And to bake my headlights? I wouldn't be able to do that, because I wouldn't allow myself to close the oven door, just thinking that the headlights could possibly melt, ahhhhhhhhhhhh!

Looks safe though. I'll give you a $50 to do this to mine!

 

Perfect!!!!

 

tape over the reflector on the turn signal....
and use silicone to eseal to be safe, there should be enough silcone already on the lights to get back together... re-read his first couple posts it does say it all..

 

oh duh. haha. thank you.
