I have just done mine about a week ago, not a bad job but takes a good 6 hours with all the prep and such! Just keep a hawk eye on them when they are in the oven. How mine turned out:

Sorry for the large images, could not get them to resize :/

Good luck when you get round to it Smile

Oh and did you tint the indicator lense or does it just look darker because of the black in front of it

Ha, cheers man, yeah I have xenons. All I removed was the hid ballast and bulbs the self levelling mechanism was fine in the oven. The headlights just pulled out when I pulld it through and out the bottom. I think that little screw would pull apart with the heat, I might be wrong but surely it doesn't do that much!? Indicator lens is not tinted, just the black behind, I was afraid if I did it my indicator would be super hard to see

It was one of the screws that holds the ballast in bladdy thing rounded straight away so I'll have to find a way to undo it then I can sort them and get them looking as good as yours ;-)

No they don't I will answer that for you now.

You have to use something like a dremmel to cut the lens off do what you need to do then reseal them with your own glue

Just to give you a heads up before you put them in the oven
