So i decided to the roasted headlight challenge,  took me about 24hrs total time, from strip down,  to refit, they were FL chrome before,  painted in sable grey mixed from Halfrauds and the projector in white gloss and the ring was the closest to the colour of the roof as i could get, the idea was to link the rims and the body in terms of colour results In link below,  let me know what you guys think,  or any suggestions for next mod,  maybe some zunsport grills...

That's looks really good. Love the white details.  I did the same on 5 sets of Celica headlights (for local Celica club members). Did you open them with an oven or heat gun?

Used an oven,  scary... Sat there literally on my knees looking in the oven,  praying,  please don't melt.. Please don't melt,  that gum/resin that seals the lights is impossible to get of the lens if your not careful

If you get that gum on the lights wipe it of when it's still soft or gently warm it. I always lighty polish the headlight which also removed the gum.
