Having a second person helps a lot for both tear down and reassembly so if you ever decide to give a shot, make sure to have a helper imo.

What ever you do, DON'T be afraid to hit it with some heat. I helped him with the initial headlight where we tried different heat levels under 250 degrees and nothing worked. The black silicone crap is more like tar and impossible to work with unless it is hot.





Also, Westin, its pronounced Dalla Z, not Dallas. Get yo ganksta on son!!! :happydance:

You all are drunk now shut up! Cool that Devin helped you. Danielle would be like "Get your damn headlight out of the oven. I wanna make a pizza." :ughdance:

Nice job maybe now with this video ill grow some cahones and do it. When you were pulling the lens apart I was thinking..."don't break don't break!!!" +1

Headlight Mod!
 
Thanks man for the videos! This helps A LOT! I will be doing my lights soon. I also subscribed to your YouTube channel!

great videos! I took my orange reflector apart and painted behind it black for a darkened look. Its easy to take apart if you are careful, and then after putting it back together, I used my soldering iron in a couple small spots to spot weld it back together.

Hey guys thanks for all the comments!

Mike those look great, I was wanting to paint that chrome part around the reflector black, and just smoke the reflector, but after trying to get them apart for a few seconds I was like, "nah better not" haha they sounded like they would crack! Thanks for your post, nice to know it can be done without ruining either the reflector or the other piece attached to it.

In the end what I did was just paint the whole thing black, and it looks great, however some may prefer keeping the reflector orange and just painting the outer edge.

Thanks for these videos, they certainly helped out a lot. I had no clue what I was doing for the most part other than "well this looks like I need to take it off". I ended up adding LEDs and black housing the chrome, it all worked flawlessly! I ended up painting the top of the amber like Mike did as well... it looks way better since the top of the headlight actually has a line that blends with it. Pic on the other thread if anyone is interested
