Unfortunately it was 1.30am at this point and had to leave last few bolts out till morning and was too dark to get a propper picture, and it needs a clean now more so than before.

Nice job on the headlight surrounds/insides

 

Isn't actually that noticable, which I think is good. Makes the car look better but you don't look at it and straight away think 'that guy spray painted his headlights'.

Thanks Mate was a pain in the arse to do as the instructions i had said about baking the headlight in an oven for 8 mins at 250 but there was no way a zed headlight would fit in my oven so the trusty heat gun had to come out.

 

Next i need to get a yellow overflow pipe for the rad and to change the blue hoses on the intake for yellow ones. Anyone no a good place to get these. there are also a few other bits under the bonnet i painted yesterday to match and i have a bolt set from chilli on the way.

Couple of better ones, still getting to much reflection in the lens.

Great work, was it much trouble to get the headlight units apart? I have water marks in mine & need to clean them

[rodgeevans]

Yeah not having an oven they would fit in and having to use a heat gun was a pain would be easier if you had someone to help and a suction pad then one could heat the seal while the other one gently pulls apart from one corner working across if you know what i mean.

I need to split one of my headlights as think theres a small leak and its causing condensation at the bottom, was using the heat gun easy? Remember splitting my is200 headlights and left one in a little longer than we should of it ended up looking like the scream mask!!!

Well it took a while to do using the heat gun and the only problem is then heating the surrounding plastic to much and deforming that, as i say if you have someone that can help will make it much easier, as a another point if its only condensation could you not remove the light take the bulbs etc out then heat the inside with a hairdryer to remove condensation then run some black silicone around the seals to seal any holes save taking it apart.
