Separating Headlights

Nothing major but figure it may be useful. When I first started doing it I used a small screwdriver like suggested before but this damaged the grey casing.

So instead I used a paint scraper 2.5 inches wide, which did not cause any damage at all and made it easier to remove the lenses.

cheers

Cheers for the tip mate, been thinking about doing this for a while now. Have you had any problems with the lights misting up?

It can and has been done in 3 hours by ormi i believe. I wasnt in a rush to do it and put halo lights in at the same time so it took me alot longer. If you are just spraying them black, then its very easy. At first I was like "I want to do it but dont want to wreck anything" but I did it and im glad. I put the oven at about 100c left them in for about 5 mins and then just kept trying bit by bit (take it out prise it abit, back in oven, take it out prise abit etc). Just make sure you have sand paper, primer and paint. You can get it done in a weekend easily. The hardest part is getting the lights off the car. Just ask if you have any other questions.

What did you use to paint inside of lights

Any particular paint

Just any normal spray paint from Halfords will do. Rub down with wet and dry, primer, then paint. Simples :)

And the mistake a lot of people make when doing this is trying to re-seal the lights with the old glue.

While it's still soft, scrape out all the old sealant. And then apply a new bead around the edge before you put them back together.

Make sure it's one that cures hard though. As normal silicone sealant will stay soft and rubbery and just won't work.
