425 degrees for ~20-25 min. Oh wait, no. That is how long it takes to cook a rising crust pizza. It almost sounds like a cruel joke to talk someone into baking headlights in an oven. Or should the oven be set on broil? I'm sure it works, but it sounds funny. Please let us know if anyone has problems or comes out with some melted headlights. If not, I'll toss mine in the oven along with everyone else.

Not to say I know much but about the paint question, I'm guessing you use a high heat resistant paint?? I really want to smoke my headlights as well, but I don't have the patients and knowledge to do it myself, I'm too scared to screw up something.

So what about painting the same color as the exterior of your car?

i like to let the oven preheat, and then turn the oven off, and then put the entire light housing in the oven throw it on a piece of cardboard (so you dont risk the chance of getting the grill makes like you would on a hotdog :)
by headlight housing, i mean remove the bulb, wires, any rubber parts, and anything else that you can remove :) it may not be "easily" removed, but just apply some preasure to it, and you shouldnt have any "problems" seperating :) |
