looking good!i want to paint mine so bad but im scared to mess them up.i have heard horror stories about doing this.i tried my fogs once and acidentally left the oven on preheat and melted one. i felt so stupid.did any of the chrome come off with the tape?i had that issue with the other fog light.i used the blue masking tape.another question,how long did the process take to do your headlights?i can only do mine on a weekend because of work and my truck is my only ride.thanks.

 

I am in the process of doing mine right now. I am waiting for the paint to dry overnight and then im going to reassemble and reseal them. So far it has been super easy. I havent had any problems at all. You have more than enough time to do them over the weekend. Go for it!

 

awsome man.post some pics when you are done.what tape did you use to mask them?did you do the 240 at 7 minute method or the 250 at 10?let me know how you kept your headlights together to let the rtv cure thanks

 

Ill definately post pics. I didnt use any tape because I painted everything black, so dont know what to tell ya there. I put them in the oven at 250 for 8minutes and i didnt have any trouble at all getting them apart.(2 people prying them apart at a time makes the process 100x easier)

I have been thinking of ways to keep them together. I think I might try some pandoit(<Spelling?) straps with a 2x4 on top of the lights and some weights on top of the 2x4. Just a thought, not sure if thats what im going to do yet

 

Sweet mod!

 

Nice! What did you do to your fog light lens? Their smoked too

 

pretty much the same thing / method.

The fog light bulb broke and left shards of it between the chrome and the lens so this was really my test to see if I was going to like it, Just incase I didnt I bought 2 new housings from the dealer ( i might do this mod then ebay them.. not sure yet )

The chome plating didnt come off on the headlights , I was worried about that as well because when cleaning the fog light it came off rather easily.

When I did mine, I just taped them off , used some prep wipes to remove any grease and oil from where i was going to paint. I didnt do any sanding, I used 1500 degree high heat engine enamel ( the can i had for touching up inside of the stangs exhaust tips ) as for drying time , I didnt wait long, however long it took to take the other one apart and get preped , maybe 1hr. then just reassembled carefully.

After seating the lense back into the fresh bead of RTV I held the lense in place with a ratching tie down strap, these stayed strapped overnight as I didnt need the truck then

 

I removed my reply and started a new thread, White out headlights.

 

looks good. Would love to do that to my truck, but to affraid I might screw it up. Great job.

 

I got one light done and installed, just waiting on the other one's sealant to dry. Here is a pic. It is very bright otside so its not that good of a pic


EDIT: Got it all done. Here is a pic.

 

Do you have to use hi heat paint or is the regular duplicolor accent paint ok to use? That is what I used on my mirrors and also what I plan to use on my door handles this weekend and I wasn't sure if the same could be used for headlights or not.

 

I used high heat. It gets hot inside that light housing.

 

Roush: very nice truck, i really like it alot!

I too just did the headlight mod this weekend, it is really easy and looks great. I really thought it was going to be a pain in the *** to remove the clear cover but for me it was super easy. I had mine removed and taped up ready to paint in an hour.

I had some real carbon fiber sheet lying around and i put it to use. After looking at it for 3 days i am not sure where i stand on it.

Anyways on to the pix:
