I decided to black my headlights and fogs out, I used a heat gun and it worked pretty good!
This was my first time doing this,

came out nice. I thought I liked the chrome housing till my buddy did mine too. Did you put a red ring around the headlight?

Tphotisane

I painted the ring purple but it didnt turn out the way i wanted it too, wanted more of a chrome purple, still have have purple accents on my car

Very nice, what did you ultimately do with the orange reflectors?

Tphotisane

I forgot to mention that, I tinted them with VHT Nite-shade I did two coats and it looks really good

Was this a pain to do or went with ease?

Tphotisane

To be honest it was a walk in the park, i thought it was easy and its the first time ive done it

Great tip on the heat gun! I don't know why I never thought of that.
I did this years back when I was much younger - (in 2001 on a 2001 civic) and baked the headlights - it was very easy.
I've been putting it off on the IS350 because my headlights have a clear hard shell protector on them - and I didn't want the oven damaging it.
Now with the heat gun mentioning - I may attempt this once some time becomes available.

is it hard to remove the amber reflector? Id like to take mine out but dont know if its worth all the effort.

I did the same thing but I put my headlights in the oven lol and it worked like a charm haha!

been wanting to do this as well. Do you have to reseal to prevent condensation from getting in? and if so how

Tphotisane

No its not hard at all its just to clips holding it on

all i did was reheated the old seal up and squeezed it together then i put silicone around it, you can use gasket sealant too
