Probably not since brian was kind of enough to do this DIY. However, I might because mine is a liftback. If I encounter anything different from his DIY, i'll be sure to take pics and write something.

You should do one to show how to take apart the headlights and work with them

hmm i have eyelids, and i believe you had eyelids to brian

do you plan on putting them back on? or is the cutoff going to be different?

I don't think the cut off will be affected. I will probably repaint them and try them out next weekend.

pulled apart one headlight, preheating for the next one.

PETERPOOP · 09-06-2009, 08:10 PM

had to use a dremel to have the projector fit in the housing. the original hole for the stock bulb was too small and could not fit the projector. good thing it was checked before i sprayed the housing black. just taped off the headlights, and getting ready to spray.

JumpmanYaris · 09-06-2009, 08:14 PM

I am still looking for another set of headlights on ebay looks like its about 45 to 115 the average on price. any cheaper then that before I buy any of them

PETERPOOP · 09-06-2009, 08:26 PM

i dont think they come any cheaper;but i don't think you need to buy them either. i only set my oven to 215 and preheat for 10 minutes and let the headlights sit in there for 4 min and that was enough time to pry it open. all ovens are different so you have to decide how long you want to put them in there for. one of the headlights actually melted in the back a little bit after only being in there for four minutes. so keep an eye on it

JumpmanYaris · 09-06-2009, 09:24 PM

Will do

^ He meant by the eyelids, I think.

Brian, great DIY and thank you for taking the time to post it. Looks good and it seems the issues were minor. Are the halos nice and bright?

808_Yaris · 09-07-2009, 01:06 AM

Brian · 09-07-2009, 01:10 AM
