Ernesto Posted May 24, 2007 Report Share Posted May 24, 2007 I could have sworn I read a topic already on here on SMD about baking headlights to get rid of those ugly orange reflectors and shit that come on factory headlamps...I wanted to give this a try (right now) and can't seem to find the thread...Could some body please post a link or some thing...Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zaxfire69 Posted May 24, 2007 Report Share Posted May 24, 2007 These are on a Cavalier, do you need more Model specific or can you just do the steps to yours/?? I have done this myself with my civic and I ended up buying another set of aftermarket headlights. All I can tell you is be very careful and be ready to f up a good set of Headlights if done wrong... http://www.dmcomps.com/03-05ClearHeadLights.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amalan Posted June 4, 2007 Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 let us know how this goes im interested in baking my friends corners cause he got some new clear ones off ebay and doesnt want his so i want to bake them and then smoke them and see how it turns out. smokes ontop of orange or red comes out just like dark red or orange so smoking clear would come out real nice.

02GCRD Posted June 4, 2007 Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 you bake the headlight and seperate the lens from the housing, you can also use a heat gun or blow dryer(takes more time) But be careful not to scratch the lens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ernesto Posted June 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 damn i think these corners are melted together not glued I tried once...The oven was @ 350degrees and baked it in there for 6mins and it didn't get hot enough when I took it out...Got a little softer but not enough...I have to try again.

Amalan Posted June 4, 2007 Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 hm i think youre suppose to keep it in there for 12 min or something according to that cavalier article. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
