Hello everyone,

I found this thread and I fell in love with the idea

Now my question is, how can I take off the plastic cover without harming it? because I unscrewed the screws, but it seemed to be glued or something.

and how about the paint, where can I find a good one that won't have any problems with color matching?

Any further tips are welcomed

take ur headlight assembly, and put it on a pan in your oven.. 220F for about 10 mins and they should start to peel at the glue. or, you can try the blowdryer on hot. which i will tell you, will either take forever or not work at all. i chose the blowdryer as the pair of headlights i was working on werent spares or my own, and i wasnt paying to replace them.

I really like them, would love to see them on the car though

i'd love to buy some lights off a wrecked 8 and try it. its just that it would cost like 200 bucks. which isn't on my list to buy things right now

Good, I tried the blowdryer, nothing happened
I wanted to place it in the oven though, but I couldn't remove the HID unit, I didn't know how, and I didn't want to cut any wire or something

any tips how to remove it?

the bulbs get just as hot, or hotter when they are on for long periods of time. i may be wrong but i would tend to think that it would be just fine.

Hmmm, you think so? I just don't wanna lose it

somebody needs to just try this with HID's, as far as a i know nobody has thrown them in the oven yet
id try it in a second if i knew i could get the lights open without damaging any of the parts....
