was it easy to take off glass from headlights? aren't they glued to base? I like that black bracket
the lenses are quite easy to get off you have to pre heat your oven to 200 turn oven off n put em in for 10 mins gently tease off the lenses took 2 heats to do this and i also used a very sharp knife to cut through the sealent as it stretched out. i left the old sealent in and also added some fresh when i put them back together.was it easy to take off glass from headlights? aren't they glued to base?

Its a little bit scary put whole headlight into 200 degrees... because at 230 base of headlight begins melting... and lens - at 250

If i'm honest mate i'd change the Hs back to silver. I just don't like the red H on anything other than a Type R of some sort...but then again, i am rather fussy :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: h34r: h34r:

ok so i was happy with the colour match but had a few runs and a dead spider in the paint so i sanded them down a little and gave them another 3 coats of milano and finished them off properly with 5 coats of clear varnish. spaff worthy if i do say so myself, cant wait to get them on in the morning.
