I still have a couple things to fix but, i did it finally, here are some pics of the process, feel free to ask any questions. Thanks Jeff, Steve, and Mike, ur pics and instructions helped alot.

Btw I used both the heat gun method and oven method both work great, oven method is the fast and easy way to open those headlights up.

reflector came out easy, i used plastic bondo, black gloss spray paint, and and a gloss clear coat.

Headlights went back together easily. The hardest part was making sure not to get any of that adhesive on the painted housing, when putting the housing back in the lens.


Ok now the problem adjusting the headlights when on the car,

As you can see the the drivers side is adjusted perfectly, but the passenger side is off.
Should i adjust the passenger sdie through the grill or the wheel well the get it to align correctly? btw i never messed with the wheel well adjustment on either headlight.

Thanks again,
Andrew

 

nice... thanks for sharing the pix... looks pretty dark huh??? how glossy is it in real person?

 

can someone find me the part number for the screw that goes into the alignment piece (through the grill) i lost mine....

 

taking parts off the car, I avoid. I always end up with more pieces left in my hand than what I started out with....LOL

PS. Question time : that front grille looks cool. What did you do for the chrome strips ? Do you buy them, or did you spray 'em up somehow ?

 

lol thanks, brave or stupid, one of the too.. Car came like that, so im not sure, but i dig it

 

I like those strips too....&lt;note to self&gt; : must look into where I can find them.

I think I remember looking for 'em on my black Jetta Mk4, but sold the car before I managed to find them.

Just wondering what they'd look like on my Red...hmmmm....thinking time

 

Looks Super!

 

I think its the Lighting, it was overcast this morning, ill take some better pics in a few.

 

Nice job - looks great!

 

don't take the bolt off or you will have to pull the nose.
