For every1 saying that spaying them black wil fail an mot.. Well ur wrong because mine are exactually the same and my mot was last week and it passed with ease =)

I'm tempted to do mine... Looks very easy and the difference is awesome! Good simple guide to follow but I will probably use either a heat gun or a hair dryer... The oven stuff scares me a little

Excellent guide(s) here, somone had broken the adjuster on my off side headlamp anyway so needed an excuse to get this done. People, don't worry about MOT / legality of this. As long as the reflector is not touched nor the lamp shroud its fine. For those who have removed the shroud or painted the reflector it depends how lazy the MOT tester is whether they notice. Same goes for the old bill, depends how knowledgeable or picky they are. But I would only advise painting the surround.

on the pics, the guy has removed the reflector, do you have to take the reflector out at anytime or does it just stay in its position, even if i take the surround out?

:bump:

i jus did a set for my wee green vtr (goin for black n green theme) and the silver stuck out like a sore thumb.i was a bit dubious of puttin them in oven but it worked a treat.i managed to snag a set of standard lights for a fiver!! awsome or what?? i will be doing my own set and selling them if anyone is interested?

Hey I'm kinda new to this so bare with me :P I sprayed my headlights a couple of months ago and all went fine.bits its been bugging me for ages about the green outline around the lense. Just wondering does anyone know how to get rid of this!!!! I put mine back together on the same sealent if that helps :D

good step by step! will have to try this as i want mine black!

Just came across this thread. Excellent stuff! Big thumbs up!

This is so much more difficult than it looks... Glue everywhere, hot glass, oh such a mess...

Did anyone else have to take off the bumper to get the bottom bolt off the light?

shouldn't have to mate. i never have

I can't get the bottom bolt off. I've tried everything, the bumper just sits half an inch too high to get in.

i will be attemting this to my mk1 today :)

hmmm...i guess you tried pushing the bumper down aswell?

Yep. I'm taking the bumper off soon to do some repairs, stone chips, wide mouth/mesh and a respray anyway so I'll do it then.

After much effort;

what does it look like on mk1 saxo's? im thinking of doing it too but want to see some pictures first :P

MK1 pics ?? ;)
