Just the headlight housing. Take everything else off, rubber o-rings, bulbs, wiring, etc.

unless it has the black molding right ? only the grey will heat properly at 200 deg. (from what I remember reading before)

what about the level, and i guess that little rubber piece in the left corner comes off too.

what about this rubber piece, do i glue it back on after i am done.

it has grey, it also has some clear sealant on the outside but i think that will come off, right?

one more question, what is a good heat resistant spray paint, silver/grey.

Dupli-Color can be found at most auto stores for calipers/engine/exhaust.

Hrmmm,

He has the same Idea I have. I dont want to hi-jack this thread. But I have the same question.

Looking to get angel eyes. With this being said.

my drive side Headlight has the Grey beads, and sealant. And is crystal clear.

However, my passenger side headlight, gets a little "noisy" or haze to it at times when its not under heat. Also It seems as if it was RE sealed, Has black silicone going around the housing... Could be why there is the haze from moisture.

Opinions before I get to work?

headlights are apart, paint bought, just have to install the eyes....

did you leave the level and rubber out piece on?

I left those on both times I stuck my lights in the oven. I just left the wiring on the car, and took the 3 metal clips off the bottom of the housing. I think that's it...

:I That's all I did the 2 times I put mine in the oven too... Didn't seem to mess up anything that I could see

I went ahead and popped the rubber piece off and left the level. Seemed to work A-Ok, with nothing broken or melted.

Hmmm, the How-To on lskoncepts.com doesn't say anything about removing any of the rubber. Did they leave that part out, or is it just not necessary with it only being in the oven for 8 minutes?

Its not necessary to remove the rubber piece.

left the level but took off the rubber, i can just seal that back on with clear sealant. came apart fairly easy. will have pics of full install when i get the angels. i might have an extra set of headlights if someone wants for trade, have to check if they are grey sealant.
