Your welcome

Has anyone tried a spray on tint on the little mirrors around the turning signal to make them black, but still reflective?

Ive decided to do mine, and I will try this if no one has and had bad results.

Anyone know where to get the STi replica lens too?

 

So i know this is an uber long thread but i just tried to do my headlights. I did everything the instructions said. when i pulled it out of the oven it was extremly hard to get them lense off. I couldn't do it. i even busted out the flat head but noticed i was ruining the rubber around the light. now the inside of my light is covered in condinsation. i left it alone hopeing to get some answers tonight so i can try this again. I need my car back together before work on Monday.

 

Just try to pry them open again, I had to get some friends to help me pull on them. It's normal for them to fog up like that and stink.

 

I am confuse. Are you asking a question? or need some advice?

Try to pull as much of it apart, and when it gets too difficult just throw it back in the oven for 2~3 minutes. I hope that help.

i'll give it another shot. its just my girl & I and we can't get that glass off 4 ****! i was thinking i might have done it wrong or i was pulling the wrong piece. I'll try again though. thanks for the fast responces!

 

so my girl is wanting to go to bed and now its just me. i'm going to wait until tomorrow morning before i give it another shot. Hopefully i'll be able to pull it apart tomorrow.

 

What temp and duration are you using? The silicon should be gooey after 10-11 mins at 250.

 

If anyone's interested in painting '06- head lights, here's my write up:

i don't know if anyone is on the site right now but i have my oven preheatting right now for 250. i'm goin to put the headlight in there for 7 mins. lets hope i can pull that damn cover off this time.

 

g'luck

I finished my right headlight earlier today. Its not so bad once you jump into it. I took a break and ran some arens. Now i'm starting on my left headlight. This left one is going alot easier than my right. Thanks for the "how-to!"

 

^^lol, i took me forever and a couple of beers later to get that cover off the first time. Im re-doing mine again... 3d time...

 

they are both installed and looking good. the only thing i wish i would have done is wait for the damn silicone to dry before i installed them. My left ight only took about 30 mins. this was fairly easy. I'll post pics later on in the week. I'm literally sitting in my garage right now trying to install a bunch of different things.

 

Good luck guys! For those of you with 06's, don't forget to do the STi replica clear projector lens upgrade. Best mod you'll ever do for the money IMO. I recommend it to every set of lights I do and for every car.

 

where could i buy that?

 

nice

 

Hey Laosifu, your thread helped me one year ago when I pulled apart my '03 headlights (to relace the orange reflector) And I finally got my hands on a '06 headlight and finally did what I've always wanted to do.

Before with Black Reflector inside headlight



And NOW ...









Paint: Flat Black (High Temp paint +500' farieghnheight)
I went with Flat Black instead of Gloss Black because:
- I wanted a stealth look "stealth bomer"
- It compliments my CF pieces


Thanks again to Laosifu; and... yes I know my car has some similarites with Nitrouz not at all trying to replicate or copy styles, just love the black on black look! Thx

 

^^^thats sick

 

Glad that this thread helped you omega6 and many others. And thanks for the pictures you provided for me. Car is looking great
