help:: how to blackhouse 1 piece headlights

[darkgreencb7]

i ve been looking all over for a diy on how to blackhouse my 1 piece headlights anybody know

same as normal headlights, bake them in the oven then seperate and paint, dont paint any of the reflector housing, just the chrome parts. the stuff thats angled you shouldnt paint, but the stuff that is flat is alright.

[darkgreencb7]

yes but the 1 pieces look like they are two piece inside

u got PM

the JDM 1-pieces have a separate reflector, so its easier to paint, just takeout the chrome rflector, and do ur thang with the paint..

when i opened my 1-pieces, i didnt even had to use an oven..

[darkgreencb7]

so you just use a blade, acetone, pry it open and paint

yup..

dats what i did.. dunno if the others agree, but, yeah, its done.

a buddy of mine said that the plastic lens would melt in the oven.. coz i did the same thing he did to his CD accord..

lol its not going to melt. think how hot lightbulbs get in that encasing. and your only putting in at 200 or so.
