I was planning on modding my headlights since I have an extra pair to mess around with. I have searched these boards as well as talked to a couple members who have done it before, and I seem to get VERY different responses. I've heard temperatures from 150-325 degrees, and times from 5 mins to 30 mins. I was just hoping some of you who have opened their headlights before can post up how long and at what temperature you guys baked your lights. By the way, I know alot of people recommend a heat gun over the oven, but like I said, I have an extra pair and I'm not too worried if they get messed up. Also, I have not had any bad experiences with the oven yet with my previous cars' headlights.

Thanks

 

i baked mine for 20 mins at 210.. worked good

 

^^+1000000 that's what i baked mine at.

 

260 for 10 mins here

 

heat up to 350
turn off
bake for 10 minutes

done this more than enough times.

 

Why would one want to bake their headlights? New to my G and this forum. Did a search because there appears to be a mildew type substance growing on the interior....Help please??

 

ya i go about 300 for 10 min

 

they bake them in order to open them


cant help you with the mildew.

 

watched them heated up with a heat gun pulled apart then same to put them back together..Then sand them down and sent out to a body shop for paint. Watched this done many times by a "customizer". Tailights were just sent to body shop to be painted or smoked.

 

Dont listen to that crap about placing a wet towel in the oven it screwed up mine just use a dry towel I did 215 for 15 min
