Looks good, I think it would look great on a Gen 4.5 though since theres not as much "empty" space. But still looks great!

Question, I want to black out just the parts that dont reflect light, all you did was throw it in the oven to open it correct??? and then to re-seal?

here is what i did

remove H4 bulbs
remove two metal clips on each side

turn on oven, preheat to 200F






i put a garden brick at the buttom to avoid headlight to metal direct contact,
my oven is pretty big



here is a how i bake my solara headlight,
preheat to 200F degree, put headlight in oven and let it bake for another 15 minutes at 200F




wear your oven gloves, get some newspaper, or something soft and heat resistant, to the headlight on, take your headlight out of oven, use a mid size flat head screw driver and start prying slowly from the corner.


when putting the headlight back, put the headlight back to oven and bake it same thing like opening it, and squeeze the lense back to the headlight until the butyl is cold
