JAp light (I know it be done before)

hi there i can not find the thread for this. I want to take out my head lights and give them a good clean and if i have time paint the inner black. but not sure on how to do this. is it hard to do or can it be done.

cheers all

It's not hard, but it time consuming. Having done this once I'd rather just pay Gzaerojon £100 and have it done properly.

- Stick headlamp in oven (120deg or do) for 10-15 minutes to soften the sealant

- Remove the metal clips and prise apart the clear plastic from the rest with a flathead screwdriver

- Dissasemble light

- Prime then paint the backing (mask off the chrome inner rings if you prefer, personally I like the look with the chrome kept).

- With the clear plastic part itself, either sand down to 2000 grit paper, of use a strong glass cutting compound and a wheel to both remove the yellow and bring both the inside and outside to a clear shine (This bit takes ages).

- Reassemble

- place all items back in oven for 15 mins

- Reseal the lens to the back (the glue will be nice and soft now) and seal up using the metal clips.

Job done. It'll probably take about 4-6 hours in total.

thanks you a star. i think i am going to have a go. money on the less side. lol. o the fun.

theres a good guide on here i will post link if i can find it, i used the oven trick too and it worked a treat
