too scared to do it also.. not enough experience doing things like this to be confident. anyone wanna halp me?

 

marcotadeja,
i was scared too, but after doing it, it's pretty straight forward. Just need a heat gun and that will suffice instead of baking it. comes right off and it won't melt your headlights. after that it just plain and simple sand, primer and paint. i'll post mines after I get it done. just go to this link and it will show you how to do it on your own https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sh...int+headlights

 

finally done with the lights. well post some pics tomorrow..

 

here are some of my car..took them today.

 

how long usually does it take to do this?i wanna do it,and definitly need to buy some ix taillights or vii's because the ones that came with the viii are UGLY

 

took me a good 3-4 hours. I was also very tired as i started it at 12:30am. I suggest you make sure you have a lot of time to do it so you arent rushed. I kinda rushed it cause it was getting so late.

You also cant go wrong with the vii tails. It's what i have. I think they are the cleanest tails for evos.

 

here are some finish pics with headlights installed..




This took about 5 hours...Just take your time and everything will look just right. Any questions let me know..

 

Yours turned out really well. You can't really pull off the JDM lights painted, even though people try. Yours look good!!

Evodave does topnotch work, but will have your lights for a while. I sent my tails in last year prior going on vacation and it took about 3 weeks total. It's worth it if you can have that kind of downtime.

i can do them for you

pm me and ill give you a price

 

I wonder if anybody thought of dremeling the clear corner piece from a 02-03 Lancer headlight and retrofitting it to replace the Evo amber piece to mimic the JDM upper clear section.......




Many 02-03 Lancer parts fit the Evo.

 

mrevolution they look nice. why did you let the orange reflector up top i would prefer to take that out...there is too much orange going on. what did you paint, the inside of the headlight casing?

 

painted it with tamiya clear orange. works well and can get it at any high profile hobby store.

 

i am back and can turn lights around in the normal 3-4 days now that i am in the new shop don't worry about that.... lights came out nice btw sorry about the lag previously with responses and such and thanks to all who are understanding and back my work...nobodys perfect but those who admit their mistakes learn and grow from them
