God that look so cool! I just dont want to do all the work, and on top of that the idea of having to stick my headlights in the oven to melt that stuff just freaks me out!

I was like a cat on a hot tin roof when I did this to my Supra headlights way back in '98. No fear at all now. Too bad there isn't a glass version for the IS like there is for the Supra. I'd much rather glass, it never yellows.

Love how that looks painted. Especially, with that giant amber reflector removed. I can deal with the large gap, as long as it is not a color and furthermore, an ugly reflective color like orange/amber. You did a great job with this mod.

My buddy took his plastic Supra headlights apart and removed most of the yellow. He then retrofitted to the glass and it looks ten times better IMO.
