Just painted my headlights - Page 4 - Toyota Yaris Forums

johnnyfive · 08-17-2006, 12:16 AM

i like to let the oven preheat, and then turn the oven off, and then put the entire light housing in the oven throw it on a piece of cardboard (so you dont risk the chance of getting the grill makes like you would on a hotdog :)

by headlight housing, i mean remove the bulb, wires, any rubber parts, and anything else that you can remove :)

it may not be "easily" removed, but just apply some preasure to it, and you shouldnt have any "problems" seperating :)

Very nice write up.. I like your somke headlight!

Katana · 08-19-2006, 11:53 AM

Great work.Thanks man!

Katana · 08-19-2006, 12:13 PM

Oh I have a question.

How did you put back the glue?

hasher22 · 08-19-2006, 08:00 PM

Just put the glue back in its place, around the headlights. If there is glue on the headlight cover, take it off and shove it into the black part. If that made any sense.

ChinoCharles · 08-19-2006, 09:38 PM

So this has nothing to do with smoking the headlights, right? This is just basically painting a bezel similar to the chrome headlight covers sold on ebay?

hasher22 · 08-19-2006, 10:04 PM

umm yer just painting the inside of the headlights a different colour.

Though its been called "smokin" but then again smokin can mean "tinting" the headlights.

Katana · 08-20-2006, 06:51 AM

Can we also paint the reflective surface inside?

hasher22 · 08-20-2006, 07:26 AM

Where it says YES u can paint black, blue, white...whatever colour u want

hasher22 · 08-20-2006, 07:27 AM

i used MATT black paint. u can use gloss paint if u want

I'm planing to do this mod also but im very concerned about water vapour or moist getting through the seals. Is it possible that once the glue is melted it is no more reuseable?

the glue will only soften so its easier to pull apart. Once u painted everything u want to paint. Then you easily put it back together with the same glue. The glue is "reuseable"......
