DIY: Headlight LED's and blackout

Cjanik

I used the oven method. I didnt have a heat gun in handy.

I personally think it is easier to take off the lense with a oven because it heats everything all at once instead of one spot at a time.

however, you want to take off as much glue as you can to help make it possible to put the lense back together, and a heat gun would have been a huge help in this part. the glue, when cold, is very hard and gummy.

I opted not to do LED's though.

I got the paint from automotivetouchup.com . I told them color K51, and they sent me a can of that stuff. (spray can). I also ordered the clear coat so the sun and heat wouldn't ruin the paint.

It took me about 8 hours to do the entire thing. (from pulling car into garage, to getting the bumper back on.)
