   hi i was wondering if anyone could help me, i seen a friend for the first time in a long while and his saxo had blacked out front lights, he said he didnt buy or paint them,he put them in the oven, i was just checking to see if anyone else has done this and if so is there a link in the forum on how to do it, or could anyone give me some information on how to do it, also is it healthy to do it, because i wont try if it can wreck my lights.... cheers

   This guide shows you how to color code your headlights but works the same way to smoke it black.

   that heat gun link doesnt work, i think it must be for premium accounts, yeah i got a heat gun like, is it the same process as if you were treating you bump strips with one? or do you need to sand it down or rough it up at all?

   take clips off around the lights
   then heat up all the glue, slowly prise be careful tho you can crack the lense,
   then when seperated the insert will pull out,
   sand/prime/spray
   put insert back in, heat glue up, place lense back and hold til glue sets, then place clips back on
   and its done
