Turned out nice. I have a bunch of other stuff going on with my Armada so I won't actually have them installed for a while, but here's a picture of them completed sitting on my kitchen island. I made the mistake of putting them in the over without using a wet towel to protect the clear plastic so I got a bunch of tiny hairline cracks...Now that know when I'm doing the passenger side should turn out perfect and I'll just pick up a new driver's side as soon as ebay has one available.

270 for 10 mins. MAKE SURE YOU PUT A WET TOWEL OVER THE PLASTIC LENS or you'll end up geting small hairline cracks in it like I did on my first one.

Thanks for all the compliments.

You got any installed pics. Also if you can take night time pics with and without the different lights on.

Sorry for the poor quality photos...my camera didn't like me taking the picture in the garage for some reason.

Now you should smoke them. Smoked a set already with the stock reflectors still in, and I didnt like it. Those would be sweet smoked!

Mr EZ is correct. I heated up the headlights, took them all apart, painted the orange reflector "chrome", then reassembled.

That looks really clean, I'm to much of a sissy to take apart my headlights though. I wouldnt even do that to my lexus in fear of condensation.

Someone needs to do this and video tape it and post it so we can view it! It seems simple enough, but video would still be pretty good.

I'm pretty sure that you have to use the oven to get enough even Heat Distribution.
