jlong Posted August 5, 2011 Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 (edited) What are your plans for them? I was wondering how hard it would be to remove the reflector from the head lights. *edit, I didn't go to page 2, now I see.

jlong Posted August 5, 2011 Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 Couldn't you open the stock headlight up and plasti dip the inside? At the same time remove the reflector. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the same time remove the reflector. yes.... i have done it before but man what a PITA it is to do.. were talking about around a 8 hour process for 2 headlights... its not worth it to me to have to do some again.. i havent heard of this aftermarket company in the link before so im not sure how good of a quality they are...

RaulB Posted August 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 How hard is it to remove the headlight? you have to bake them to be able to pull it apart... then clean off all the glue so you can re attach them.. plus you would still need to prep and paint the inside of them... from start to finish its about 4 hours per light...

jlong Posted August 5, 2011 Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 I meant how hard is it to take it off the car. That sounds like the hardest part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
07CRUSH Posted August 5, 2011 Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 I meant how hard is it to take it off the car. That sounds like the hardest part. There are 4 bolts to remove the headlamp , before you do that you have to take the fascia off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cal3thousand Posted August 5, 2011 Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 There are 4 bolts to remove the headlamp , before you do that you have to take the fascia off. Front fascia takes 15 minutes to remove. Most of the work here is splitting the lights, modding and reassembling. 8 hours is a good estimate, but it's not 8 solid hours of work. Could be done 4 hours if you are proficient. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaulB Posted August 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2011 i have a shop out here that charges 150 a headlight to pull them apart and paint the interior any color i want.... or i can buy OEM headlights for about 180 each...

L1TECH Posted August 20, 2011 Report Share Posted August 20, 2011 Heres the thing, changing to the Sport lights won't really do much for the looks becasue you still ahve all that headlight reflector. Painting the reflectors, if one could do a good job, would look ok as long as you never drive at night as you wouldn't have hardly anylight output. Now if you wanted to get trick you would have to do a projector retrofit that way you would have the dark lights that you are looking for and also have light output but seriously you picked the wrong color vehicle to "murder out". Your would look sharp with tinted windows, lowered and some nice polished or chrome 20's on it adn get rid of the web address you have stenciled on the side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The edge is silver and i like the two tone with all the chrome black but thats just me.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
