I decided to change the headlights on the truck since I'm not really a big fan of chrome at all! To add to the fact that I didnt want to spend money on a company work truck and get blacked out headlights. So I slapped the headlights in the oven and took out the screws and pulled them apart.

Heres how they came out

 

Great result!

Did you use a flat or glossy?

 

Looks good. And I saw somewhere on here that said it couldn't be done. Myth totally busted.

 

I want to see someone PTM a set on red or blue or anothe bright color

 

Looks good PLD! Nice job

Mike

 

Very nice!

 

 

Damn they look great!

 

WARNING: Stupid question incoming....


Why did you put them in the oven???

 

how long did you leave them in the oven to make the gllue soft? what temp did you put them at? what did you put them on?

 

Does anyone think they would look good body-color?

 

He actually said "Slapped them i the oven"

Now ..stupid question coming up

what does that mean....more details please on how to do this stunning mod.

 

Heating them in the oven softens the glue, so you can separate the front clear part from the rear plastic part.

I've seen it done on previous generations.......but from what I've read it couldn't be done to these latest models.

So much for that theory.

 

 

I "slapped them in the oven" to knock that darn myth loose....


I put them in at 250 degrees for 8 minutes, like Kool Aid said its to make the glue soft enough to pry apart. You can put them right on the rack, that temperature isnt hot enough melt the plastic. I should add to be able to get to the screws that hold the plastic together (there are two per headlight and they use a small torx bit) you will need to drill two hole to be able to get to the screws.

I used a flat black. Personally I would use black on any color, but thats just personal preference.
