all good, working here now too...

I need new headlights for the rolla... might look at getting an aftermarket set and then try the mod on the old ones and if it works alright I'll just put the old surrounds into the new lenses and have a back up pair lol...

[clifton]

Hey guys, I noticed that some owners are painting this part of their headlights too.

As seen in this pic

I was wondering if painting this area effected your headlight output in anyway?

[xcellenc3]

Clifton, painting those areas as shown did not effect the output of the headlights in any way... headlights work just perfectly...

[clifton]

thank you very much sir!

Failed miserably.

Couldn't get the lense off even with a heat gun.. tried using a knife, fishing line, scraper, It was just too hard to take the damn thing off :(

It was even more depressing reassembling everthing after hours or achieving nothing fml LOL.

Any suggestions? Was thinking of going wreckers and finding a set of headlights to try and attempt again so no damage is done to the only pair.

i think you chuck it in a 60 degree oven or something for some amount of time,

Use headlight tints, if got pulled over, simply remove it.

cost less in money, time.
