amazak 3 Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 Diy service on my headlights this weeked, read on an Ed38 link "set the oven to 350 degress pop them in for 5 mins and the glass pop's out using a screwdriver. Well I later found out 5 mins was way too much, bloody melted two plastic mountings. Anyways after the drama it turned out quite well,quite pleased with the results. Also if anyone is thinking of doing this don't leave it too long in the oven, 2 mins tops, also preheat the oven then turn it off prior to putting the lights in...... Cheap, easy and classy mod imo.....BEFORE.....HALFWAY THERE......ALL DONE.... Link to post Share on other sites
