wouldnt the headlamp be extremely hot..? How can/do you take it apart, after heating it for 275 ?? surely' you can't do that w/ gloves on , you need to have access t othe silicone, right?

the only part that gets hot is the big steel bolt. touched it. yup its hoT!!!
but the rest is just plastic, stays at a good temp.

 

ya just pull it apart it comes apart with no prob, that silicone reminds me of pizza cheese....

 

Hey! That's me in the blue shirt in the last pic!

We gotta do my headlights this weekend now.

 

My 04 Lancer came with the headlights already blacked out. I have seen the ES and LS 04's and their headlights are all chromed. I was wondering why mine were black. My question however is, Can I black out my tail lights? The lens is clear and there are two red circle lenses inside for the brake lights. Do I follow the same instructions to black them out?
Thanks!
L8R, Shado

Blacked out from the factory headlights.



Factory tail lights, Can they blacked out also?

 

i was thinking that? like if someone can paint headlights, why dont they just paint them to match the color of their car? sorta like projectors? ANd then tailights? paint to match as well?

You could paint the inside to match your car. I did it black, just cause I wanted the blacked out look.

 

Here's a pic of mine.

 

yo dont try the tails.. haha.. i tried the sam headlight procedure.. yeaaaa.. looks like its dripping.. haha the oven melted the **** out of the taillight.. theres gotta be away to get em open

 

ahh,, cause that would be very cool if someone had tailights the same color as their car, but kept like the red circles, red ya know?

 

Ya, I had an extra set of stock tails and Eric (blacklancer03) tried to heat em and they just melted. Maybe if you did it on lesser heat it would work?? We should try the other tailight.

 

Ive done the headlights myself and I just wanted to add a couple things, first off you dont need two people I did it by myself, second you need to get a high heat paint because the headlights get hotter than hell and will melt the paint if its not made for high heat. Ive seen a write up on how to do tail lights, its much more complicated because the clear lens cracks very easily so it takes much longer to do those

 

Is there anywhere where they can be bought already black?

 

dookie ill do em for ya

 

how much?
