timb2010 Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 After great success baking my reverse lightin the oven last month, I wondered if the same can be done for the headlights? I woukd like if possible to get rid of the orange reflector inside that runs down the edge. Has anyone tried or maybe done this? Thank you!

ATTAK Z Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 I think Husky had a project on headlights with this mod ... also P15ULT (spelling?) did something similar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbiscuit Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 i might know where to get hold of carbon inserts to replace the orange parts. the headlights can be split and put back together, but the putting back togehter ahs to be done well to avoid misting and leaking.

Madmarky Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 I split mine with a hot air gun as they would not fit in my oven. Was easy enough tho, you dont need to open them all the way if you just want to get the orange strip out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoota80 Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 It would be easier if they made them so you could just replace them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easty Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 I would like to take it out of mine but I'm not sure if I'm brave enough lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamN Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 I think I'm going to give this a go at some point. The idea of putting the headlights in the oven is a bit scary though! I do like the idea of carbon inserts!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leonk Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 The most important thing is to make sure they are re sealed again properly to prevent water ingress and condensation. I went round mine with black sikaflex (available on e bay) just to make sure. I used a heat gun to split them. There is a post somewhere if you search or a link to the US site. Try You Tube I seem to recall a few vids on there for other cars but same principle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
