Not even using like a heat gun?

 

Positive... not on stock, quite a few have tried.

I am pretty sure we all failed with the heat route. the ABS melts before the sealant. I even turned 1 lens yellow... too hot, too long

I cut mine apart to get the lenses off. then welded the back together

some pics, the one shows where I cut

a heat gun it is too localized, ended up melting the ABS and the lip on the lens

 

Oh well I guess I will just keep the chrome look. I don't want to xxxx up my headlights.

 

I bought a spare set and a half from members here.

still got my originals in a box.... just in case.

 

well shoot.. haha i seriously bought an extra set of headlights and a heat gun before i even thought about posting.. :/

 

I'm going to have to get a spare set and do this. I like the look and can then take off the tint I have on the headlights. Wonder if foglights are about the same?

 

I wouldn't paint the inside of the foglights if they can be taken apart. The only part you could paint is the reflector if I remember correctly. A vinyl overlay is the way to go for those.

 

Your headlights are the nicest i've seen. Bro.

1Panel2envy was right there, but god knows were that panels at now.

How could you get rid of it kendall ?

 

i'd really like to do the HID and painted headlights mod, but would rather pay someone to do it!

 

These are the best I've seen. I like the black and blue ones too though.

lunchbox mafioso


The part that sucks is I had my lights originally masked similar to those and I really wish the chrome wouldn't have peeled off now.


I could sell the HHR because it was slow If I had an SS panel, that may have been a different story...
