BHLM in progress. Wish me luck!

I just put the first headlight in the oven. I'm super nervous. Lol.

 

I was too..
just be careful to never leave the oven on while headlights are in..
I took soo much time pulling them apart I rebaked them.
I had no issues just followed the write up we have here on tacomaworld.
Good luck and post pictures as much as possible

 

Got them painted. Preburning them now.

 

Props! I have been to afraid to do this.​

 

Its really not bad so far.

 

Finished! The only problem now is one of my low beams is out. Off to get some new bulbs in a few minutes.

Update: After two weeks and a couple good rainstorms and some high humidity my headlights haven't leaked or fogged up at all. So far so good.

 

They look good!

 

Thanks!

 

That looks awesome, I need to read up on this.

 

Have you looked at the write-up? That's petty much all you need.

 

Not yet. I see it mentioned a lot though. I’m between this or some new headlights, but anything decent is like 2 truck payments.

 

Excellent work. You are much braver than I

 

Yeah I can't afford new headlights right now. so this was a great alternative that doesn't cost much. Eventually I will upgrade.

 

Ever thought about trying to do your own retrofits? I have thought about doing it slowly with some extra headlights, not sure how hard it really is.

 

Yeah that's what I mean by upgrade. I figured if I can do this mod I can do retrofits.

 

All Tacomas need it
It's easy, just put extra butyl in so it won't leak

 

Looks good!!

 

What is the search for the write up on this? How long does it take to do taking your time being picky? Thanks.

It took me about 6 hours taking my time.
