to sand or not too sand....so ur sayin if I use black primer I dont have to sand, but if I use gray then I should sand? I dont want like bubbles under my paint as evodave mentioned.

if I do sand I guess I need some 600 instead of 400

AltezzaBob

anyone have pictures of how they turned out?

I like the oven method. It's better than using dremel like in that video to pry the headlight open.

That's how we used to do with prelude headlights.

AltezzaBob

if you have a diamond dremel bit, you can dremel it off without causing heat and shaving only a bit of the plastic off.

OH hell no.. dont dremel the headlights. Thats for the tail lights only as they are sealed in 2 different ways.

Hot glue gun works for headlight correct? Im a little spectical about putting it in the oven

if not the oven, heat gun. The adhesive they use on the headlights is heat sensetive.

ok so a heat gun, so how long again do i need to have the head lights in the oven if i do it that way. i just want to do it this weekend.

thanks guys

no need to sand, just primer and paint...

I have done a few evo headlights already...

oven takes too long and has potential for problems... get a friend, heat gun, screw driver, heat the seals, pry apart... primer, paint, reseal with the existing glue... best chance for good seal...

James

thanks man, but reuse the existing glue how? I don't mean to sound like a dumb A$$ but i fon't want to mess up.
