   I've had a bit of a search around, but cant find out, is it possible to spray the insert in an angel eye headlight?
   
   Thanks

   i'd imagine so, mine were already tinted but it looks similar to the original headlights where you just spray an insert

   in the nicest way possible, i hate you so much
   go for the standard angels and smoke them yourself then i'd wait to see if anyones done it first though aswell cos it may not even be possible lol

    I dont think you can
    
    angel eye lense is plastic, not glass (mk 2 anyways - not sure on the mk 1)
    
    
    to "seperate" in the oven will melt it...

    ive not had a problem before mate as you dont leave the gun on the plastic long enough to melt as the glue goes soft after a few seconds

    yea bit of a pian not being glass tho as you cant use the oven to get a nice clean all round heat to just pop off the lense and same in reverse, i normally have to usenew glue when putting them back together but half of thats for peice of mind
