how to make your stock headlights look awesome!!!

[Pocket_Rocket]

For the oven temperature, I think 350 degrees for 5 minutes works well if I'm not mistaken; I've seen this on youtube in a video about converting to HID headlights. What I'd like to try though is to take off the glass and make a negative mold out of it, then heat up some plexiglass and mold it to the original glass lens shape and glue it back to the stock housing...It would work great for an HID conversion!

HMM I see possibilities - could we get a comparison on the wall of the two light fields?

i forgot to go for a drive last night...

festiva tuner: what do you mean? shine mine and a stock one at a wall to compair them?

[Festiva_tunner]

precicely - just like the HID cmoparison photos lol

that way I know how it will affect the pattern

[sasquatch]

it shouldnt... but if i can find a stock set of lights ill give it a try...

Also how hard was it to get the lenses off once you heated them?? I was thinking of making a angel eye and mounting it in the lens

[sasquatch]

its not that hard to get them off once they are hot... just be careful when prying them up... little pieces of hot glass can come flying off....

Could probably use an out door gas grill, you would not have to worry about fumes in the house then.

I know when I heated tail lights before there was no smell

the sasquatch likes his food/ headlights WELL done the more smell comming out of the oven the better
just got back from driving it at night, no change in light output sitll the same as last time i drive it in the dark

Awesome - Good to know - Might do this to the Kia Lights - That would look shap with the longer lens me thinks

Looks very good well done! I might have to venture to this but mom and dad might not like my headlights in the brandnew stove:/

^ ya my mom just got a new stove about 6 months ago so i felt kind of bad doing it but the good news is that the oven no longer stinks lol...
