To add to the above, the two push fit clips are quite near the top and bottom outer corners of the headlight. They can take some force to pop out, but be carefull on the top one and also when removing, because you can easily dent your wing.

 

Just done my headlights was bit worried about painting them so just de-tango so far

How can you leave them in the oven too long?! They're a headlight, not a chicken kiev! :P lol You need to keep constantly checking them...:P

 

In all honesty, I put the over at degrees C instead of "F"

 

lol, honest mistake. Looking good now though!

 

I used a hair dryer. To worried about burning them like the dinner

 

What you doing with the knackered ones mate ? I'm after just the insides of em ???

Bloody hell thats two bad chefs LOL

 

Lol, my ban on the oven has ended, but I can do a mean roast chicken

 

Mine were done by the previous owner of the car, admittedly not too well as the lenses were scuffed to hell and there were hairs and stuff stuck inside.

I bought some new lights off of eBay in the end, and did it my self properly.

 

Holy thread revival! My old car is on the front page! Funny, I have just bought another blue blob and despite me prfering the silver/detango my new one has the black head light mod lol

 

Haha mine is one of the first on here too mate , used be known as "sparky d" now got a black blob with black Lights ;-)

 

Can't beat an old thread kicked off again! I did a post on this in 2008 for my old blob... pics from that:

Before and After Shown Below.

Sanded Chrome Trim

Satin Matt Black Applied

All back together and looking mean as fooook!


If only I dare do the same on my Hawk.... just too much cost if it goes wrong!

 

Has any one blacked the lights out but left the orange bit in?

 

Hey buddy, I remeber it well. Good choice black on black is my favorite colour combo (although my new one is WRB again ) Pics?
Alright Davey mate, hows it going? Funny you should say that mine has been detangoed/blacked but instead of silver bulbs has orange in so looks a little weird when I get some silvertec bulbs in I'll take some pic's. At least it saves me from putting them in the oven again lol

 

It must just be me that preffers them black but with the orange I
