I am joey modding my head lights, and I messed one of the lenses up while in the oven. I got the other one apart just fine, but I don't want to buy a new HID head light just because the lense got a little messed up. Plus if i do get one new lense I would just get 2 so i don't have one new one and one with road grim on it. So does anyone know if i can just buy lenses? Wether it be from mistu or the aftermarket somewhere.
Thanks.

 

This may sound funny... but why was your headlight in the oven?

 

to get the smoked effect...

 

he got hungry?

 

A for effort, but putting any car part in an oven doesnt sound good to me...

 

 

It seems to be smoked now...

 

*sigh* love the sarcasm on this forum ...as for the member that was trying to black-out his headlights you're going to have to get in touch with EVO-DAVE on here. You're probably going to have to replace the whole headlight but dont quote me. I have never seen anyone sell just the lens piece.

 

I think he was trying to be funny... If it was sarcasm, it wasn't very tactful.. LOL

You should check out some of the flaming sarcasm on other forums... like any of the Mustang or J-body.

This forum is one of the most laid back forums I've seen.

As for the lights... I hear great things about Evo Dave!

 

Props to you for trying to do something on your own. This story is the reason I let some work to professionals. Sorry to hear about your lense. I think your going to have to get a new set. Then you can cook them and if you mess up on one, then so what. Then you got a pair of smoked head lights...lol

 

what exactly happened??? did u melt it.. post some pics

 

actually... (I am posting for my brother) He has done a few headlight blackout mods and come out pretty damn sweet for being a home done job. Ill be honest and say the housing looks damn good. the only thing he did was melt the lense a little and we found out one HID buld broke. All he has to do is blue one side back together, then find a plastic cover on ebay or something to finish it. pics will be posted.

 

Ok this is really what happen. I had the lights off the car and, dumb *** me put one down right infront of a garage heater (the big tourch ones!) without even looking. Nothing got hurt but for the lense. The whole housing and everything else is fine. I didn't mess anything up as for when I baked them to seperate them. And the HID light didn't break from anything I did either. The car was in a slight crash and It had to of happen then. So really it had nothing to do with me smoking them. I just need to new clear lense.

 

Man im really kinda going to be pissed if I really have to buy a whole new headlight just for this stupid little mistake.

So do I really have to??

 

yup....i've never seen anyone sell just a front lense for a headlight assembly for any vehicle.

theres no mitsu part number either. you can only buy the complete assembly.
