LOL!

@@ashantiradix 😅

That's...how you lose brightness. Which is what headlights are for!

I was intimidated at first but one day I had my headlight level adjuster broke off and it would not pass inspection so I figured if i have to buy a new one might as well play with this scrap one first and I was surprised how easy it came apart I epoxy glued the adjuster back together and resealed with the same glue it already had on there and it has no leaks no nothing passed the inspection and works just fine still, I didnt use an oven either just an electric house room heater radiator thing, it doesnt take much

It’s actually very easy, I’ve done it with no oven just a heat gun but I recommend using the oven, it doesn’t damage the headlight

Yep it is just about getting it up to temp, to soften.

You DO NOT need an Oven guys. Use a heat gun to melt the glue. Thank me later. I repeat DO NOT USE AN OVEN

But then you cook food in there

Not watched it all, because I`m trawling the Net for detail on chrome paint for vintage reflector lenses.....but don`t LED bulbs run cool?

BRIAN THOMPSON thanks.. happy new year.

Jacob O'Driscoll yeah man check the description

Tim Barnett no I also mentioned the new cars have this blacked out from factory Same lights. 👍

@@WeekendWarriors87 yeah i did it on my motorcycle (on purpose), its work, still bouncing the light, but its not looking good when light is on. So yeah, dont do that

Parts of the chrome-look are "working" areas that reflect light (directly behind the bulbs for example), but it's okay to paint 'non working' areas, like the surround of a projector. I'm doing a similar project at the moment as a mini series and am going into quite deep detail if you want to take a look.

Yeah I did reseal it back together

@@customspraymods I wanted to do that to my Subaru but I wasn’t game enough, good video going to do some work to my hilux. Thanks

@@michaelgrech3158 I have a video doing it to my Subaru

Антон Южаков just for fun. Less clean up. Same result. DIY friendly

Lol. Its a win win solution, right? 😅

It's fine dude chillax

Its tape

1pd I have half a bottle of water on the bench just in case. Haha

@@customspraymods All good mate haha, enjoyed the video..keep up the good work

Ha ha, yeah, that's because it's not actually chrome. It's aluminium applied by vapour deposition for a chrome-look and highly reflective surface (for the 'working' surfaces of the lights. When the individual plastic parts are being made it is actually cheaper to paint them black than apply aluminium, hence 'base' cars getting black and higher trim levels getting chrome-look.

Headlight reflectors are not chrome. It is aluminium applied to the plastic by vapour deposition. Obviously, the "working" surfaces have to be shiny reflective but otherwise, I agree about the overuse of chrome / chrome-look. I've got to replace the projectors in my headlights, so I'm doing a mini-series about the job, including a little modest customisation with both black and body colour.

Tester Hamsticle thanks. they can probably withstand 10 minutes in the oven still.

@@customspraymods oh yeah ten minutes wont hurt im just thinking of "The Public". If it doesnt work in 10 mins some might be tempted to try a bit longer. The guy who clued me up on my bmw headlights (and quoted me about 6-700 quid to do it all for me, to indicate how difficult mine are to seperate) said he gets quite alot of this style light that are actually melted for just that reason. Still class vid tho, I want to matt black my entire headlight, and then put a light smoke tint so a bit like net curtains, the emitted light is legal you cant see anything in the light so it looks really blacked out. :)

Hey mate I put in an image of the same car that comes from factory with the headlights black just like mine. It not illegal at all. 👍

Im sure if you are spraying your reflectors then yes you will be fined. but spray painting aesthetics bits in your lens would not be illegal. I have spray painted my reflector lens and retrofitted my halogens with hid projectors similar to mickshidretrofit and had no issues with rbt and even pass my pink slips

customspraymods if thats the case why did you just not buy them factory ?

Tom Noogasaki all turn a blind eye thats why and you give all those people money thats all they care about in this country of corruption where when they do enforce things they do it badly , and anyway are you one of these guys on the road that blinds everybody ? If you are its not nice what you are up to

Michael Wilson it wasn’t available when I was buying the car.
