Are these phase 2 headlights? Or did u spray some phase 1's? Im not being cheeky, I thought of doing it and wasnt sure if thats what you'd done cos one looks like the paint missin a bit?

aye i know, but the top down pic of the other, paint is missing a bit. thought it was a diy effort.

how easy it to remove the lenses?
 
Very easy! ended up putting them on 100 degrees, just gotta watch the glue. Off home now so might even test them now if i can see in the garage to put them back again!
 
If they are the same as the indicators its easy. 8 minutes was good enough for me. However the glue gets very stringy so make sure you pull the 2 halves vertically and i cut the stringy bits in the middle with a knife which did the trick. Also no smell is left.
 
Right ive just had one headlight in and everything works fine!

Not a simple as indicators mate! Gotta heat for longer but thats why i put 100 degrees and its about 10-15mins.

basically you will just be able to pull them apart
a bit may need some forcing but mainly one corner I found.

Need something to scoop the glue away when seperating them and
watch the glass...it gets FUCKING HOT!!

I will also recommend getting some clamps if you can so when you put them back together,
you have something to hold it in place as it does tend to want to come away again!

Anyway, Ill be doing this for real next week,
maybe Monday so Ill do a more details walkthrough with pics if ya like!

Heres some pics of what ive already practised on (kinda bought a spare set)

they are original phase 2 head lights, the black came off coz it was in an accident, look at the other pics and ull see the crack in the back black bit!
 
They look well smart dave. BTW is your car lowered yet cause the extra splitter must scrape shit loads.
 
Nah not lowered yet and yes they do scrape now as it is!!

Hopefully get lights done properly Monday defo after service is done
 
How easy/hard to do the lights? I take it, its just a maskup and paint job? I think id do mine in black like the phase 2, improves the front end so much.
 
Very easy if you take ur time. I slightly rushed them to give me an idea of what they would look like.

I masked around edge and held a towel in the centre while i sprayed it.

Cheap way! Cost £5 for paint or £10 if u use 2 cans and a few hours max!!

I will defo do the how to on Monday

the bottom bit where you can see the paints come off, is painted black on the outside of the glass, I had to repaint mine coz of having the bumper on and off a few times had rubbed the paint off, and the reflection looked like my bumper was peeling, the rest of the black is inside though, like where dave's painted it red
