Default Doh!!

I painted the inside of my headlights last week and all was well.. I was really satisfied with how they looked and how the eyelids went... Except one of the headlights hardened back up just a little off where they mount so it wasnt sitting totally flush.. Today I got around to taking them back off and getting them back in the oven to re mold the mount on the one.. well I think to myself, that other one looks a little off to so I decided to do that one as well.. While im taking my grill off to paint that I put the good headlight in the oven, I thought I was quicker then I actually was and I get back in the house to a horrible smell.. .. Yep I melted the damn headlight!! the bulbs still fit in and it bolts on the truck but the whole back is melted to **** and it doesnt fit on the truck very well, it looks like crap now.. So I guess its time to start looking for some new fancy projection headlights!! fml

Lol I know what you mean.. It wasnt hard, gettin the lights apart and painting them was easy.. If i woulda just not ****ed with them after they were all back in a good to go then they would still be in the truck looking awesome.. Ill get pics tomorrow when its light out. Plus Im painting the grill to match tonight so that way tomorrow it will look awesome with everything matching!!
