Can someone help me? I wanna make my headlight corners clear and after i saw the how to in the xA part of the forum, i got nervous lol. I obviously cant do it alone and i wont let my hubby do it cuz if he messes up then im gonna have to murder him and go to jail, then i cant see my scion anymore and we cant have that. So can anyone help me out? I gotta bake my headlights and stuff and i really dont wanna mess up, OR have to pay someone to do it. im stuck...

 

Talk to Tim (WeDriveScions) because you shouldn't have to bake your headlights at all. His were done without any time in the oven because he found out how to pop out just the yellow parts. Good luck!!!

 

yeah you dont need to bake them just to remove the amber reflector. only bake them if you want to smoke the housing.

 

to Bad we don't see sheep on here much anymore. I was talking to him one day on the phone and he was hammering out the yellow parts of his.

Good luck. i would definatly get help on those but do not bake them not really a good idea and you might compromise your seal.

 

^^Yeah...we don't see Sheep on here but I see him on the road often!!!

 

i baked mine to paint the housing black. no problems whatsoever with the seal. just take your time and read the DIY instructions

 

i've baked some tailights b4..that wasnt to bad...just make sure you use the right size pan and grease it with butter or PAM or something..... set the timer and use a toothpick to check when its done....











sorry.. all i can say is TGIF

 

When CoreyAnn and I talked with Tim about it he said just remove the bulbs from the back and use the holes to poke something in to break the reflector possibly a screw driver and then use something possibly needle nose pliers or tweezers or something to pull all the pieces out. I have not done our box yet, but when I get some time hopefully in the next few weeks I will.

 

bake them!!! breaking the reflector is a good way to scratch the reflector and then it looks like poo.

I tried the breaking on the first set I did and it wasn't nearly as nice as baking.

just take your time and don't forget to bake them again to seal it back up.

 

If you are REALLY careful, you can break them apart and pull the pieces out...

Baking is also REALLY easy, and I've done it about 5 times now.... there are a few things you have to remember, but outside of that, it's not hard at all...

1. Use only an electric oven, NO GAS
2. Preheat is neccesary, only to 200 or so.... avoid having the elements on when the lights are in.
3. Use a big cookie sheet, bigger than the lights, to prevent them from being exposed to direct heat.
4. On top of the cookie sheet, away from direct heat, place a folded towel, or a couple oven mitts, to shield the lights from the heat of the cookie sheet.
5. Take all the rubber, lights, wiring off the lense assemblies that you can.

Outside of that.... 10-15 minutes in there to warm them up, use a good pair of gloves and pull them apart, slowly slicing the sealant with a razor blade to help the process (Two people are great for this).

Once you're done, you can heat up the pieces and stick them back together for a good seal, but I always suggest picking up some grey silicone sealant and putting it in the groves to ensure a great new seal, free from moisture.... That's about it.

 

i'm sad...no 1 laughed at my funny...... and no its to late now... no sympathy laughs...
