HOW TO change these euro lights black??

[frankiievee]

would i do the same thing put these tail lights in the oven to melt the adhesive and then pry apart? or would another technique work? ...would i need to put more adhesive on them after?

LET ME KNOW

i concur

You could toss them in a deep dark cave and leave them there. They'll be black then.

why does everyone hate aftermarket lights. they dont all look bad. mine with look good when my car is black. but i would never buy the chromed ones. i bought black. which i will be tinting black.

They destroy the look of the car. I have not seen one set that looks halfway decent yet. That's my opinion.

Yes, put them into the oven for a couple minutes to allow the seal to melt, then pull the lense off the light. You can heat up the oven to 325, then when you put the lights in, turn off the oven. Tape up the red reflectors, and spray away after you prep them.

Yes, put them into the oven for a couple hours to allow the whole housing to melt, then pull the lens off the light. You can heat up the oven to 425, then when you put the lights in, turn off the oven up higher. Tape up the red reflectors if there is anything left(hopefully there isnt), and spray with lighter fluid, then strike a match.(please do the last step outside in a clear area where nothing but those hideous tails can burn .

Sorry Mirror, I couldn't resist a little editing for accuracy.:lol: Hope you don't mind too much.

In all seriousness, OEM FTMFW. Those lights fuck up the entire look of the car.

Uh, those are a different kind of plastic than what the headlights are made out of so I don't think the oven trick will work out too well. Chances are it's SUPER CHEAP plastic and will probably melt with any oven temperature. I say go ahead and waste your money buying those hideous things and stick em in the oven so they can melt and go to ugly, trashy taillight hell where they belong.

yeah with how cheap most of those lights are, I also think it will mess up the entire light. Maybe try using a heat gun on it but be careful not to leave the heat gun in one spot or it will probably melt it.
