What's the rest of Scrappy look like?
If I had Xenons I do this in a heart beat, but I can't figure out if it'd look good witht he 05 Halogens.
BTW there is a nother thread on here that centers around this mod they gave cerdit for starting to the subies, I suggest you go set them right

Thanks every one!!
I actually did two sets of headlights this weekend. I helped with my friend’s regular lights. I have to say my Xenons where easier to pull apart. I pulled them apart with no heat and not having to put them in the over.
The other headlights had to go in the oven and came a part slowly.
The first hard thing for both lights is popping the head light rings off. ya got to do it slow and easy or you will break the little tabs off. (But if they brake, just use double sided tape when you put them back on)
Just take your time pulling the lens off the head light housing. I used 3 flat head screwdrivers and slowly worked my way around to pull the lens off.
Once the lens is off you just pull the inside rings out and becarefull not to brake the little clips inside also.
Just take your time when taking it apart and every thing should be ok.
Sand parts with smooth grit, tape off what you don’t want painted, and primer and paint. I did bake the headlights to help dry the paint after for about 30 mins. Since the head lights where hot, all the parts slipped back together and I was able to re-seal the lights very tightly.
This mod isn’t that hard to-do, its just intimidating

her headlights are xenons and hence, projectors. She didnt paint any of the projector so 0% of light would be lost. The same goes for halogens as long as you dont paint the reflector piece (which is a separate part). The chrome on the interior of our headlights has no function
