Guys, you're seriously not going to damage the lights in the oven at 200. Not gonna happen.

hahaha javy sorry you didn't get to grab my old set! you should learn how to do it! its easy! i've done my headlights 3 times already! yes I've gone through 3 pairs of headlights. and i need to do them one last time cause i hate the orange reflector lol FLAT BLACK is the only way to go when you black out your headlight housing for ALL COLORS ON THE 2IS EXCEPT BLACK! just to let everyone know...

And four o two why didn't you do the fogs as well? its like 100 times easierrr



im too lazy to do my headlights right now.. i traded the headlights cause i used a semi gloss black. but they look good on the fogs. but FLAT BLACK IS FTW

job well done. Just curious if anyone has one on a white car. I want to do this, but would like to see how it look on a starfire pearl.

Are you saying you don't like flat black on a black car? I think it looks sweet. Who cares about gloss? Pfffft. I thought about doing the fogs, but I just didn't... Oh well. I may go back and do it later, but not right now.

It's pretty hard to get a glossy black on your headlight. It looks messier oftentimes if not done correctly.
I have black headlights on a black car, and I love the look and think it matches more than some other colors
