open and paint headlight housing?
Been looking into opening up and painted the headlight housing on the 2IS. I have done acouple on diffrent cars and all have been pretty much the same steps. Is there a DIY on the 2IS? Anyone on these boards do this?

Man does that look so great. You always run the risk of moisture after a mod like this, but I guess if you seal it properly with atv or silicone, you would be ok. Removing that amber reflector makes all these cars look so much better.

Yes, provide a DIY for the 2IS. looks like you are a pro at these oven mods. I had a buddy do this to his 94 Supra in order to polish out the fogging and it worked perfectly. Curious what temp and how long in the oven?
Looks really good! what if you have the AFS? does that matter?
I also would like to see a DIY if there isnt already...never checked. thought there was a post at one time about this??

AAC did a youtube on the procedure to install halos as well as paint the housing black or any color you want really.
