modding headlights
Is there any way to remove the orange piece from the headlights?
|
There sure is, you need to bake them open then remove the piece. Also the JDM version IST comes with clear colored markers...

yeah , i messed up trying to bake the old pair for my current car. dont think ill be doing that again. maybe ill juse look online for the ist ones
|
yea I baked mine open to paint the insides black. I used 275 degrees for about 2 to 3 minutes on each headlight, worked no issues
|
Time for someone to start selling the clear lens so we can just swap them out. I want to paint/remove my orange lens but would rather have clear replacements instead of painting or completely removing it.

I'm sure soon there be options on ebay for headlights for our cars. There is also someone making projectors for any car. It took 2 years after I got my 05 focus before I got projectors for it. Of course I don't have that car anymore, I traded it for my XD.
|
waiting for Ist ones. are you ready to fork over the money for those?
|
is there any DIY on baking the headlights?

That skicotics post is grossly off on the time to bake it for... 10 minutes will leave you will a melted housing... you dont want to leave it in there for any more than 2 to 3 minutes, and even with that you want to check it continuously to make sure your not melting it....
|
Ive been wanting to do this since i got my xD! and i didnt know how. but its coming out now.
|
hmm.. and the ideas start :P
|
FYI, this is the japan headlights so no baking involved and still have stock headlights just in case.
