Welcome to forums. Glad to have you but please search to keep the number of repetitive threads down. Thanks!!

BTW, it looks greats on any color. I plan on doing my soon. Search for r-rides because all their cars look hot with painted headlights!

 

remove the 3 srcews on outer housing,also remove all wiring,ballast and bulbs,bake @275 for 10 mins,pry apart. remove shroud from lense,sand with 350grit 800gritt sand paper..paint using flat can paint(i use dupont on my applications). place lense and housing back in oven at same temp for same amount of time..when taking out have shroud ready for re-install after heating place shroud in the lense,press back together and replace all outer housing screws immediatly for proper re-seal.then agter cooling replace all wiring,bulbs,ballast.
:note shrouds are very fragile,especially comming out of the oven!!

 

cut the newb some slack..we were all there at one point..lol

 

Cool little write up. Can't you just bake it bake together with the shroud?

 

hey thanks yall and i did search it but i guess not hard enough...

 

you could but id use a high heat paint..imo theyre made more for steel,iron ect. i dont think high heat paint finishes very well
