Baked headlights on my whiteout - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Carban · 10-16-2012, 11:38 PM

So i finally decided to bake my headlights last saturday. i took my time so it basically took me all day. So many ideas on how to tape off the housing b4 paint.. but i like how it turned out.

(i didnt want to just black out the entire housing because the appearance woulda been too far from a "oem look")

Special thanks to DarrenDriven for his accurate oven settings. His DIY is found here: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=8788

For a video of the headlights see: [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kbYrKdGhrJc&feature=share&list=UUBfgcdRcL1 elSv_4wrWuM7A"]White FR-S modified headlights - YouTube[/ame]

That's an interesting look in cool sort of way. I like it, looks like you did a good job.

Wes · 10-16-2012, 11:50 PM

looks nice! i was thinking of doing that but probably just to the bottom portion of the headlights

DuMa · 10-16-2012, 11:53 PM

car looks like sleepy pissed with bags under your eyes. unique look for sure

boucher · 10-16-2012, 11:56 PM

I like it! I think.... Can I request some better pics?

Carban · 10-17-2012, 01:03 AM

thanks everyone for the responses. im all about real feedback so tell me what you guys think whether u think it looks cool or stupid

I'lll be posting more pictures so tell me if you want certain angles.

Also may i note there has been no noticeable differences/defects in displayed light

boucher · 10-17-2012, 01:06 AM

A pic similar in angle to the second pic. The ones of the lights installed have a little glare and its hard to see what you did.

I like how you left some chrome in the headlight, it makes it look more oem

Bounce · 10-17-2012, 05:01 AM

Looks much better, an alternative to people who don't want the JDM DRL headlights.

OmarGC · 10-17-2012, 05:56 AM

Wow, that looks really good!

One of the best one's I've seen.

You should definitely be hella grateful you don't need a front plate!

Looks great otherwise, would love a shot where the sun is in the front and you can really see some of the work.
