Been looking into opening up and painted the headlight housing on the 2IS. I have done acouple on diffrent cars and all have been pretty much the same steps. Is there a DIY on the 2IS? Anyone on these boards do this?

I'd like to do this to my IS also. I did it to my G35 but I also went crazy on that car.

Man does that look so great. You always run the risk of moisture after a mod like this, but I guess if you seal it properly with atv or silicone, you would be ok. Removing that amber reflector makes all these cars look so much better.

I did that to my GTI too, but with just a hair dryer.
colour matching on that G35 looks awesome too!!!
I would love to see DIY for the 2IS too

Yes, provide a DIY for the 2IS. looks like you are a pro at these oven mods. I had a buddy do this to his 94 Supra in order to polish out the fogging and it worked perfectly. Curious what temp and how long in the oven?

AAC did a youtube on the procedure to install halos as well as paint the housing black or any color you want really.

I plan on getting this done but i dont really trust myself with a mod like this. Iwould send it to AAC to get the halos+paint done but i cant be without the headlights for more then 1 day

Is it difficult to take out the headlight unit on the IS? Is there a DIY for just taking out the headlight unit?

Brian231

You have to remove the front bumper cover.
