    I smoked the headlights by putting them in the oven and melting the surrounding sealant
    Then painting the inner piece

    I thought the same would work with the indicators, obviously not!

    Id rather not use a spray tbh, any way to get the lens off?

    and then bit of silicon to put it back on
