Can you describe it or take a photo? I'm not sure what you are talking about.

We don't have that plug in our headlights here in the US... so do you have some kind of daytime running light built in to the light? Hmmm.
And it seems pretty obvious by looking at the plug that you just push the thumb tab right on the top of the plug and pull it out. Is this a trick question?

There is a way to get the high beam very blacked out while keeping reflection full... Want to see? In the old school they are called cross-hairs: Here is an example of standard: And here with cross hairs: Cool huh? And no light lost! We will have kits soon, should we do a group buy? |

For the bake before and after are you just pre-heating to 225 and leaving it in there for 15 minutes with the oven on?
I've read a lot of these DIYs and thought you're supposed to pre-heat and turn the oven off then put the headlights in? I might be doing this over the weekend and I really don't want to screw it up lol. |

I hope someone makes a JDM style LED eye brow attachment: Open headlights, paint, attach LED strip, replace projectors, and add HID Kit. JDM style headlights at a fraction of the cost of OEM headlamps.

I have an entry level heat gun (used it for debadging and defrosting a fridge) - for a first timer, just stick with oven or use the gun? I'm worried about the goop you had to deal with.
