Default Blacked out Headlights

I just finished re-doing both my headlights.
just wanted to show some pics for people to see, and if they want to also black out your headlights, just let me know.

thanks for the link they look really good but in that how-to, when he puts the headlight in the oven what seal is he trying to break the one for the clear plastic of to get off the reflective plastic?

it will seperate the clear lense from the reflector housing.
but there are three torque screws thatg you need to undo.
one right next to where the turn signal light plugs in,
and two that seperates the plastic insert from the lense.

Just follow the how-to in the link I posted above. You have to put you headlight in the oven for about5 minutes at 250 degrees to heat up the glue, don't for get to take off the rubber gasket that goes around the headlight. once you get the lens apart from the headlight assembly, their are three TORX screws securing the Chrome bezel to the headlights that your going to have to take off.
