I wanted to make these Custom Headlights (AE). I looked at the thread and i tryed to do it but it just didn't work for me. I am from East Hartford CT and if anyone is in the area that knows how to do these i will pay you. Thanks.

 

for how much? ive done mine.

 

$25-$30 that sound good?

 

Wish i had these

 

 

fail

 

I've got a set of OEM AE headlights I am thinking of selling......

 

Same here... I honestly don't really think i like the look of them. I'm debating on whether i like the regular headlight (chrome) or the AE better (Gold)... I'm leaning towards the regular one's. I think the AE/gold make my car look...dirty. ...especially since nothing else on my AE is gold.

 

i also dont really like the gold, they look better black

 

What thread did you look at?

What didn't work for you? I honestly thinks its pretty simple if you have an oven and some time.

Check out my cardomain page for the AE mod: http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2190617/3

 

I think I might try that, also looks good..

 

yea..did my wifes in under 2 hrs.

-remove headlight assy (including all bulbs)
-if HID, remove ballast and associated wiring (02-03 only)
-remove 3 small screws around back edges
-set on towel, on baking sheet in oven
-bake for 16-18 min at 250deg F
-remove and gently pry lens and housing apart (!headlight will be hot!)
-IIRC there may be one more small screw internally to release chrome surround
-pop it out and mask of what you dont want black (like the high/low reflectors and maybe the turn reflector (00-01)
-paint and let dry
-reassemble in reverse order
-bake as per above and voila
