I found heat gun didnt heat it evenly enough, so i popped mine in the oven on its lowest setting for about 6 mins at a time.



Question to the OP, what splitter is that you have?

All I can say I was so glad that my blobeye had this done prior to buying it !! the thought off putting several hundred pounds worth off lights in the oven is not something I would enjoy no matter how easy / safe the guides tell you it is !!

well worth it thou eh, looks 100 times better !

Phillips silvatech/silvervision bulbs are bloody hard to find now as they have stopped making them.
I have xtech chrome bulbs, next best thing.

Looks much better, although it looks like you have sprayed a little too much on the full beam. You seem to have gone into the reflector a bit too much, on those lines.
It may affect the light output slightly.
