so those blacked out halo headlights look awesome. but it seems like now its impossible to find the matching blacked out corner lights on ebay. anyone kno any other sites that might have them. also, how hard is it to just bake the corner lights and black them out urself? any suggestions?
It's not hard to bake the corner lights to black em out. I did that for my corners (albeit gen 3.5) and it only took half an hour. if you've never baked any parts to open before it might be difficult and you might crack the lens. which headlights are you looking into?
A heat gun works okay too if you don't feel like having your oven stink up the place. Takes a hella long time, but it eventually gets it warm enough to make the epoxy get squishy. lol
^I've found that for sealing the headlights or corners, its easier to use a heat gun. But to open things up, I've found its simpler to just use an oven. It doesn't make any smell for me
@iovaykind im not sure what brand they were. they were on ebay. they say like euro halo projectors, or somethin like that. theyre for the gen. 4.5 my camry is an 01. at one time u could buy the complete set. i was so stupid and didnt buy them. but i may try finding a couple corner lights cheap on ebay and baking the ones on my car, so if it dont work out ill have some back ups. so half an hour u say? so like once it gets squishy, what did u use to pry them apart? butter knife or somethin? lol screw driver maybe? thanks for the input everyone. do u need to use some sort of glur or silicone or somethin to seal them back or will baking them again seal it good enough?
I use a flathead screwdriver. Not too small though cause it'll make it much harder to pry. First you pry it rotationally, then you stick it in there and yank (hahahaha) the original sealant is good to go again once you heat it back up. Just don't keep doing it, after the third time it becomes REALLY hard to work with, and its less effective at keeping water out.
