    Headlights should be here Monday, so I'm going to try to get them prepped and painted then. Not sure when the actually retrofit parts will get here.

    ffirg, you just used a heat gun correct?

    I used the oven to open them and a heat gun to reseal them. A heat gun will work for both though. Much less work involved with that. All the little pieces on the housings are a pain in the ass to take off.

    Okay cool, hope it works for me haha

    Decided I'm going to paint my cutoff shield black as well. Gives the projector a smoked look to it as well as produces more of a black cutoff line than the rainbow looking one it normally gives off.

    It should work great. Just don't melt the housing haha. My heat gun goes to 1000* :eek:

    I thought about painting the cutoff shield dark red but didn't want to mess with the projector and mess it up somehow. But the smoked look looks nice too. I like the rainbow color flicker too much though.

    Yeah, the heat gun I'm going to buy has two settings. 500 and 1,000.... Haha I'll just be sure to keep it far apart and take it slow.

    Yeah, as far as I know I just have to take out 4 screws. 2 that attach the shield to the lens and the 2 that attach the solenoid to the shield. Shouldn't be too hard. Don't care for the color, I like it to be a sharp cutoff haha
