Well done, How did you find separating the factory lights? What temp did you use for how long? Curious to see how it varies from what I use

these lights were the most time consuming of any ive done. they seem to be epoxied together so it didnt get loose easily. took all day in and out of the oven slowly breaking up the epoxy with a pick tool then use a heat gun to heat the remaining epoxy and clean it out of the headlight and off the lense. you cant reuse the original stuff that sealed them.

i had the oven at 250

I did the same to my headlights but with a little color. I also blacked out the chrome bezels. It was a bitch! Looks pretty wicked at night though.

I like it but in the dark, I could see it being confused with a camaro.
