I want to do the whistler headlight method only to seal very tiny cracks on and polish the back of the lenses. My question is, Do I need to remove the weatherstrips before to take the lamps in the oven?

Re: Whistler
No you don't. Just set the entire light housing in the oven on the rack wit lenses facing upward. Bake at 150 for 20 mins and they'll come right off. Remove the clips on the lenses first.#1:1999 pewter metallic y87 rs A4 camaro.check out the pics on the link below<br />#2:Bright red 1979 Pontiac Trans Am. Brand new 400 cubic inch Pontiac Motor.

Re: Whistler
Well, I did it with the strips on, and didn't melt. THe lenses were piece of cake to detach. Thanks.Camaro99\'3.8, original spoil package (no body mods...PROUDLY), K&N, Lid 3800II, SLP CAI, Flowmaster, Z28Chrome Tips, 180* Thermostat.Comment

Re: Whistler
Yeah they wont melt. No problem. Post pics when you're all done. This is one of my favorite mods and I believe they should have come from the factory whistlere'd.#1:1999 pewter metallic y87 rs A4 camaro.check out the pics on the link below<br />#2:Bright red 1979 Pontiac Trans Am.

Re: Whistler
I can post pics, but I am not going to paint the lamps, I did this just to seal some tiny cracks from behind the lenses. I like more the chrome look, and I would say it reflects more light.Originally posted by unvmyrs View PostCamaro99\'3.8, original spoil package (no body mods...PROUDLY), K&N, Lid 3800II, SLP CAI, Flowmaster, Z28Chrome Tips, 180* Thermostat.Comment

Re: Whistler
That's why you don't paint the reflective parts of the lights.. the disco ball parts reflect, the grooved parts don't.Comment
