mrwall Posted January 31, 2011 Author Share Posted January 31, 2011 headlights needed to be sorted so here are a few pics so fartakes lots of time to do this, don't know about the Civics but my accord's headlights look boring, no funds for a set of ATR ones so I heated the light in the oven for a couple of minutes (misses NOT happy!) about 180degrees and lightly seasoned with a touch of extra virgin olive oilwhen they hot (make sure you place them on a COLD baking tray or you'll melt them!) use a large flat headed screwdricer to tease the clips over the noggins then gently (the plastic is hot and will deform) prize them open.once open carefully remove the reflector now go and "borrow" your wifeys nail polish remover and start rubbing the chroome off with an old cloth, nothing too rough or it will show up. under the chrome finish with a bit of elbow grease you will see a mid gloss finishThe Accord has the indicator built in, I am going to leave this chrome, I am not sure ow bright the indicator will be black, don't want the old bill pulling me over.thats it for now over the next few weeks I'll keep updating, (dredding pulling the bumper off to fit the lights!)
