Default Mmm Baked headlights DIY (56K go to hell)

Here we go I decided to black out my headlights tonight ....

1st get all your stuff together



Always pre-heat



Fix any broken parts



Keep HT around for any assistance



Make sure to stay well fed Hunger can lead to mistakes



Keep Sunflower Oven mits close cuz these will be hot



After 12 minuts they will peal apart easly



Tape off the middle



Primer 1st



Brake for dinner



haha Realise you forgot to take a picture after spraying with the flat black paint

[img]opps[/img]

Admire your work



Put things back together



Touch up spark plug cover well your at it




Enjoy ! <-- I need one of these now

Havent gone outside to look at my headlights but i wonder if this bidness would work on del sol head lights? Any one else try? Oh and whatd you use to reseal the head lights back up or do the reverse the process by reheating?

yea it can be done, someone posted a thread of him paint the headlights on his del sol and it looked nice...i'm guessin the procedure is the same with all civic headlights. that's what i want to do, but i want to paint the auxiliary lights too or else that would look unmatched.

I got some stuff at autozone called "Flowable silicone, for windshields and glass" I Reheated the glass and pressed the 2 pieces together ..then ran a bead of this stuff around them to seal it tight

And congratulations on defeating the purpose of your headlights.
