My clear headlight adventure. Take a look.
Wednesday, April 20, 2005 4:34 AM
Well I decided to clear my headlights after reading many times that it can be done in the oven with some ease. However, the thought of putting my headlight into the oven still didn't sit right with me so I decided to go another route, a heat gun. Heres my results using a heatgun, flathead screwdriver, putty knife, clear silicone and some paint.

Starting point:


Result:


Some pics of the car now:

Looks good man. I would have filled the mounting holes for the reflector, though, before painting it.
Clean car. You need a kit to match that spoiler, though.

Looks really good. I like the silver bezel idea.

Im not trying to be rude but it seems to me that after people modify their headlights they don't fit well when they put them in again. It might just be me, but thats what it looks like on most of these pictures that I see. Not just your car but all the other cars too.

You could use a few different things, such as epoxy or resin, but I hear chewing gum works the best.
