Default "PICS ON CAR"

The key is, don't preheat the oven

Ha ha ha, most of us on here are trying to get the yellow OUT of our old **** headlights, you went and reversed that! It's a different kinda look though...cool just not for me, I spent too long trying to restore my pissy headlights to crystal clear and now I'm finally satisfied. Take a pic after you put the light in so we can see how it looks on the car as a finished product.

I did not plan on putting them back in my car, I have a set of supra headlights and taillights that are going on. Getting ready for the next houston show. Well after the show maybe I will put them back on.

I'm guessin that is the color of your car in which case I think they would look 100% better on the car than off. Also what do you mean don't preheat the oven, why does that make a diference, not doubting you just like to now why things do what they do. Someone mentioned about maybe getting rid of the ridges inside the headlight do you think this would be at all possible ?

I Have seen it done, I am just going for a different look, everyone always does the same thing, why not be abit different. If I don't like it I will just have it changed back to the original headlights.

A DIY on removing ALL the ridges or just the lines in front of the projector ? I know how to remove those but was thinking if anyone had removed all the lines in effect making the entire lens totally clear. I will go back and search if there is a DIY for the whole thing I apologise, can't believe I missed it.

honestly, not to be offensive or anything, there have been pics of SCs with supra tail lights that have been posted here and i do not like how it looks, supra lights should stay on the supra and SC lights should stay on the SC....but that's just me....

dude I think that looked pretty good, I wouldn't do it because my car is black and I wouldn't wantto paint the inside black but on a different color car I think that would look tight if the interior was color matched to the car. Thanks anyway guys.
