Man I want These...How long to make?

These may look a little ricy but i think they will look sweet on my Yellow Ls. I wonder how stealable they are since it looks like they just go over the headlight. PFYC hurry up and make these things.

Why not just take your head lights apart (stick em in the oven) and then paint the inside! It would look one hell of a lot better than those things. I'm not saying those are ugly, I just don't like the little knobs you see on em.

You wouldn't need to put them in the oven.... That is a big myth about opening headlamps. You can do it with your bare hands, just be slow and strong. A hairdryer would help too.

every pair ive ever done has been from the oven...makes it so much easier than trying to pry it apart with the glue cold...

20mins after the oven is preheated to 200degrees farenheight. Just place it on the rack, or put it on a cookie sheet. Just don't jump cause the center will fall in, LOL.

I will try this on the cobalts when I start seeing some headlights on Ebay, so if I mess it up I can get a pair for cheaper than at the dealer.

found this site. Its a camaro but same principle

Looks alright. I think it's awesome for people like me that have never painted a pair. If you screw that up you're done.
