Not really. I have never taken apart headlights before but I used a heatgun and went slow. Hardest part was removing the black frame from the clear lens.

??? its two screws.

I know but then it is also clipped in. I had the hardest time getting them to separate.

They're not glued together or anything? I blacked out the lights on my Focus, and in order to get in there I had to bake them in an oven to soften up the adhesive holding the halves together! That was a huge pain, and almost as bad putting it back together...

They are glued together. I just used a heat gun to heat up a small section at a time until they were completely apart.

really baking them in the oven is super easy, I followed some directions I found on this website and they come apart very very easy.

so how long did it take to paint and did you use any special paint?

I didn't paint them. I had a body shop paint them for me. I assume they used just normal automotive paint.

[waggss]

awesome, sick, mean... whatever you want to call them. def wouldn't take them off now. it's subtle but makes the car look that much sweeter imo.

I think I'm going to hand onto them, but I have another set of brand new headlights that I could get painted again if someone really wants.

Are they OEM HID's? If so, I'm interested my dude, depending the price you're willing to sell them for. Wish I would've seen your FS thread, I'm always late on seeing the good stuff on the for sale forums.

Very very nice (2thumbs).

lol. Thread titles are overrated. I was way more interested in the pictures. Thanks for the heads up.

thread title meant nothing. He had a buyer who backed out so for the hell of it he threw them on. Doesn't mean he still isn't in the market to sell them, pm him! Hell I dont want to sell my ETS but if someone threw a crazy offer out there I'd change my mind.

Ha ha exactly. The buyer backed out so I put them on the car. They now have True Red Eyelids on them but they can be removed if the buyer doesn't want.

$$$ talks lol.

I was referring to the "Are they OEM" portion of the post, which was addressed in the title of the thread.
