Take yo time!!! lol

Don't remove ballasts or bulbs (no need)
Just remove backing caps
get a piece of plywood to sit in the oven
215 degrees for 12 minutes
220 for 12 minutes on coupe lights
remember to remove the screws!
Bake the bezels before you put them back into the lenses (after paint) so the paint can degas. Degassing is what will yellow the inside of the lens.

I was thinking of blacking out my projectors, but after flipping back and forth, I think I prefer them stock. Still, I wouldn't mind knowing how to do the job

Watchers welcome too, but they have to also keep the Rottie occupied. (Kona needs new chew toys (aka visitors))

i just need to notch the bezel where the halos enter/exit. nothing to extensive.

i could probably just use a round tip one (i dont know too much about the names of the bits!).
