I take it you have a Blobeye?

I split my classic headlights using hairdryer so no dodgy oven tricks needed. Are your lenses glass or plastic?

If you wasn't so far away matey,I would have happily done them for you

I have done about 12 sets of blob eye and hawk eye lights so far,turn around time is 3 hours including spraying

I am considering buying a set of blob eye lights and starting an exchange service,but I just need to get my *** in gear and get a set bought !

Not exactly an Blobeye, but very similar, the whole process isnt really that hard, bumper off-headlight off-bake-wet and dry- primer-paint then reverse process... Wet and dry will take longest with in the process if you do it properly..just give you some idea.

No need for the wet and dry fella,use plasticote satin black it's designed to be sprayed directly onto untreated plastic surfaces and also heat resistant

Used this paint on every set of lights and none have ever failed

The worst part I find with the procedure is resealing the lights,if the join ain't thoroughly sealed then you end up with damp inside the lights
