Remove the 3 small silver screws and ease the silver frame out. You're then left with the front half in the above photo.
Put the rear half of the headlight (with reflectors etc) aside for the rest of the project, and try not to get fingerprints, dust etc in it. You will need to navigate over the clips that also hold it together. Once it's warm, get your flat blade and slowly but progressively pry the clear/silver front from the grey back half of the headlight. This is because there is a sikaflex-type sealant that holds the back and front together, and the softer this is, the easier it is to pull apart. Put them in the sun or in an oven at about 100 degrees C. Remove the large black screw and the small silver screw either side of the indicator bulb hole. I suggest you remove the indicator bulb and its holder now, to avoid breakage later. Pull the headlight out and disconnect the wiring loom. There are 3x 10mm bolts, one on the inside edge of the headlight on the front, one on the bottom behind the back of the headlight and another on top. Gently pull the bumper off by pulling each side out of its clips then pulling the whole thing forwards. Remove 3 screws across the top near the top of the radiator. Remove two screws in each wheel arch, one at the top edge of the bumper, and another underneath the bottom edge. There are plenty of guides out there, but if you can't find them The only caveat I put on this is that I take no responsibility if you ruin your headlights by doing this mod. The difference is in the matte black surround around the reflectors.
Car headlight reflector paint mod#
The mod in question makes your VX executive, acclaim, lumina, berlina, calais (?) etc head lights look like SS ones. I've been considering this mod for some time now and finally got the spare time to do it yesterday, so I took some piccies and put them up here for everyone.
