Spraying Headlights

[coolrides]

i am going to take my headlights apart to clean inside the plastic lens if i spray the chrome gloss or metallic black and de tango them with orange bulbs will they still be legal?

can the rear lights be done the same?

[Monster-Mat]

yes they will be legal....Billions of people have done it

the rear are possible but harder

whats involved in the rear that different to fronts, are they harder to take apart?

The fronts you can just put them in the oven for a few minutes to melt the glue holding them together,

Whereas the rears are fully sealed so you have to cut them open with a dremel or similar.

this isn't legal either i'm afraid mate, pretty sure it will fail a MOT too

I've just done my rear light clusters, not as much as a faff as i thought they were going to be. You just have to be handy with a dremel. I took care with the first lense then having a bit of practice got the second lense off in about 10 minutes.

But if you connect it right, its a matter of undoing a crimp and its not there any more ;)

I've had my conversion for nearly two years (one of my first mods) and i've had no problems with PD.

Did the fog/brakelight conversion ages ago on mine and it passed the MOT on the last 2 visits since i did it, as all they are is extra brake lights and the fogs still work if you need them on :)

[coolrides]
