Black outheadlights

I tried to paint the chrome in my headlights black, but I couldn't get the housing to seperate. I even cooked it in the oven like some said. Anyone have advice?

 

I'm Confused yours are already blacked out.....You got a TRD Pro.....

 

Haha, sorry. Those are pics of what I wanted to do

 

I took the headlights out but could not get them to open

 

Its all good LOL!

 

Their a real pain in the ass, ask @NO51 he took his apart and blacked them out!

 

I messaged him. Thank you

 

Painting them in the kitchen on the counter top?? Ooooh thinking thats not going to end well and wife/SO. Just sayin....

Tip: don't do it.... (in the kitchen).

 

Lmao. I was going to paint outside. And I was trying to use the oven at work as to not upset the Mrs with melting plastic or glue smells lmao. But it still failed. Having surgery tomorrow so I guess I'll try with a hair dryer then a heat gun and so on in the next few days while Im off. Getting the boys snipped in the morning. I'll keep you guys updated if I can get the housing open.

 

Ouch.. sorry for your loss! I always shied away from doctors with knives around my privates. You're gonna be surprised how excited they seem to be before they "operate".

If you hear a buzz sound during the procedure.. does that mean they missed?

One time in the oven will do nothing. You will need to bake, pry, bake, pry. And the prying will need to be done while the lights are still hot. Just be careful and good luck! Post pics when you're done

 

Thank you very much. I will give it a try over the next few days

 

Took me over 4 hours to patiently get mine apart without breaking them.

I pulled them apart to upgrade the projectors, painted while I had them apart
