Ended up with a spare pair of headlights so thought I would have a go at making some EK9-style ones (like this)
Melted the glue and opened the lights (10 mins in the oven at 120c)
Removed the chrome surround and the orange lenses for the indicators
Scuffed up the chrome with a scotchbrite pad to key it for paint
Gave it a few coats of high temp graphite paint
Went to put the lights back together and found the amber bulbs I bought don't fit. Apparently this is a common issue as they're "keyed" differently to the white ones, so I filed off one of the pins which actually seems to work...
Quick sand and polish and here's the finished result!
I will probably give it a more agressive sand and apply some clear coat at some point but happy for now, it looks 100x better than the stock ones imo
