Re: How-To: Headlight Mod (Painting The Inner Housing Of Our Lights)
Okay the 2nd set was much easier... I did 10 minutes @ 300 and they came apart in a matter of minutes compared to the first set which took 3 bakings of 10 minutes at 275 each time. Now if I could only find some VHT locally, I could finish these bad boys up.

Re: How-To: Headlight Mod (Painting The Inner Housing Of Our Lights)
Lazy guy asks:
What would happen if you bypass the primer and sanding step? Will the paint not adhere to the "chromed" surface? Ry, have you done a set using the VHT tint spray to get a "dark chrome" effect?

Re: How-To: Headlight Mod (Painting The Inner Housing Of Our Lights)
I'm still interested in seeing a "dark chrome" headlight mod.
For example: The Infiniti FX came out with two types of headlights: a "chrome" housing and "dark chrome" housing. The "dark chrome" housing looks so much better.

Re: How-To: Headlight Mod (Painting The Inner Housing Of Our Lights)
I can't for the life of me figure out how to pop the corner reflectors out. I got the top brow reflector out but the other isn't going anywhere.
Did u guys have to oven roast em again? |

Sure you could roast em, but it'll probably do more harm than good... |

Re: How-To: Headlight Mod (Painting The Inner Housing Of Our Lights)
If you break one, can you order just the reflector part from Nissan? I've done headlight mods on previous vehicles so i know how fragile the reflectors can be. They don't like to give, but these? ... they won't even budge. Arg!
