if you lived up here, id help. ive done 3 sets, another wouldnt hurt.

 

[RicesP5]

yeah i am confident i can do it, but i cant find an oven or heat gun

use a hairdryer and be patient. I used my GFs hair dryer - 10 minutes on the glue worked wonders. Helped seal it back up again too. NO chance of melting anything because it doesn't heat up the plastic enough.

 

[JOS3]

you have a home with an oven, no?

 

[RicesP5]

yes i have an oven but im 19 and live wiht the grandparents and they dont want the oven to make the food taste like plastic afterwards? does it do this .. i might just try to rent a heat gun somewhere prolly

 

[Captain KRM P5]

i have used my parents electric oven and it did not make any food taste like headlight afterwards

 

[RicesP5]

I think i might just wait till i get a day alone wiht the house and stove and do it .. once i am doing it they cant stop me (lol2) (loser)

 

[mountjonas]

yup, i did it in my kitchen oven and nothing has come out tasting or smelling like plastic. if you're really paranoid, clean the oven afterwards with that industrial cleaner.

 

[RicesP5]

Good idea on that one.. Has anyone had their oven **** up or make stuff taste bad..

 

[digitalricepape]

i dont think it'd be too bad .. seriously just follow the how-to and everything should be okay.

 

[RicesP5]

Well this weekend i guess its gonna be tools meet car agian, headlights meet oven, insides meet spray paint.. and then reverse.. hopefully it wont be headlights meet the puddle!

I know im jacking my own thread here but how does everyone get pics in their sigs and who is someone i could talk to, to get a cool lil sig or something ?

 

[Captain KRM P5]

just don't melt the light housings

 

[RicesP5]

Yeha i think i might only leave them in there for under 10 minutes that way its a lil harder but that way they wont melt

 

[JOS3]

it would take a long time to melt the light housings. btw, NO your food will not taste like plastic afterwards. ive done 3 sets of headlights in 3 different ovens and no one has ever complained afterwards.

 

[RicesP5]

Yeah im not the one paraniod of the food tasting wierd.. its my grandma .. and shure enuff she will b**** but that will be the price for some more jdmness to be done to my car (first)

 

[JOS3]

all parental/grandparental units will b**** because they cant get over the fact that you're putting car parts in an oven. even my wife was like, "wtf are you doing?!?!"

 

[RicesP5]

Yeah .. even all my buddies that i would turn to for helping me do soemthing to my car is like.. "why are you going to put your headlights in the oven.. that makes no sense" remeber that song parents just dont understand.. well it comes to mind when they always ask why i like " putting other parts that dont match the car"
