    Hey guys im new to TC and thought id jump right in! I just bought a 2013 Tacoma SR5 about two weeks ago and have already tore into it! I put a 3in procomp lift on it and just got my 18in Fuel Hostages in yesterday. Ill have those on tom. I was reading where a bunch of you guys had done the bhlm and decided i would give it a go! I was kinda worried about the oven thing haha but other than smelling up the kitchen it went great!! Heres a few pics ill get some more in here when i put them back on tonight!!

    Bring it over! haha I was the same way. Ive only had mine for two weeks and wasnt so sure about doing it because i didnt want to mess up brand new headlights. But it was actually really easy and the oven part went really good. I did it just like some of these other forums said, 300 for 10 min and they came right apart. After that it was a breeze. Ill post some pics this evening once i get them back in

    looks good man! I am going to do mine when the rainy season is gone. But still nervous about doing it..

    are you going to put the reflector back in, or not?

    I would let them sit without plugs for a day or two. My headlights decided to do something weird after about 6 months

    Thanks! The reflector is acually in them in that pic of them bacl together its hard to see ill take better ones when i get it together. I tinted them with that nightshade paint for lights so it wouldnt stand out so much. Goes along with the black look

    I put them together yesterday and theyve been sitting since. Im going to put them in when i get off this afternoon. I got some silicone to put around the seal just be safe that everything is good. What happened to yours?

    know this is a couple months old, about to tackle this project myself as soon as my truck gets off the boat over here in germany which has a projected delivery date of may 2nd. You said you sprayed the reflectors with nightshade? the refelctors being the parts i circled in the pic? how many coats did you use?
