FOLLOW UP to Flash's tutorial w pics..see below..............

SOMEONE ASKED SO I JUST COPY -PASTED FOR EVeRYONE ELSE WHO MAY BE INTERSTED.

DONT DO THE DIY CORNERS JUST BUY THEM..THIS TUTORIAL IS ONLY FOR THE HEADLIGHTS with out touching the front clear plastic...

it took me a whole weekeds so plan and prep ahead..use a shirt and pants youre gonna throw away...and have a work area close to the oven ie dining table..
i baked each headlight about 15 min in preheted 325 deg oven
use a towel when you take it out very hot pull apart immedially and start scraping off the sealant with flat screw driver gonna be really really stick and messy like venom from spiderman 3 lol youl know what i mean..
pop out the chrome frame piece carefully sand it down with 800 grit and spray w the high heat 1200 degree paint i used falt black but i recomend glossy finish.
do the same to both sides use clear sealant from auto parts store in the painting section...make sure to buy paint thinner to wipe it off when you mess up..dont use grey or black it will make it all look messy...clear i used one tube for both
i used this link its very detailed. very good tutorial ..GOOD LUCK.

Use flat black not Glossy

and no need to sand them

when you bought your corners..did you get the ones with the white reflector or the ones like the euro clear ones but black and without the reflector?

wow 325 for 15 minutes i did mine at like 250 for 8-10 tops, lol not sure if i would risk that kinda heat

i think my oven is old and sucks..that may be why..the temp may be off but it worked for me. i reacherd in evry 5 or so to try and pry it apart tha flat black is what i have right now but...it not really as notisable as a glossier" look like the corners. in my opinion..anyways mine came out great no problems other than messy silicone...wehn scrapping off. my coerner which igot from WTF, dont have teh deflector you can see the bulb, but it looks good,ita anftermarket buld that look chroem,/blue.
thats why i added the thred link i follewed so you can make your own imformed decsions...

i dont have a heat gun(trigger happy) and im not as strong a krawzyazn(superman)... so i heated the headlights in the oven to make the silicone easy to scrape off... OHH BTW my oven IS broken can't even bake a cake (girlfriend). so temps are way off.
Asn dragon..
ive been driving just fine for a month 1/2 or so....i wax em every other weekend to keep en nice and glossy..look sweet at night..still look legal..daytime small risk of ticket of stoopid donut choping pigs who get behind me but ...then they see my IRAQ VET/ PAID ASSASIN license plate frame and they back off (RESPECT)

do you have pictures of your result plz

no comp where i can download pics..im at work right now..sorry.

they came out just like flash's 1st tutorial.

so wait - is it illegal to black out the lights as long as the light output isnt changed?? or does blackin out the chrome frame change the light output?

blacking out the front of the head light will def diminish light out put therefore safety= ticket plus it easy to spot by the popos.

what i did and also crazyazn was open the headlight pop out the chred oem reflectos and sad/spray those black. which gives an blacked-out illusion" put still enough light out put to see at night...

Mr chunks probably has the best black out because of the custom HIDs thats the better way to go but only if you have deep pockets.

yeah that was a stupid question, i wrote it right as i was leavin work - i meant blackin out the housings? would that deminish light output?
