Nice! Did you bake them to allow separation of the housing? If so, how long and at what temperature?

Are you painting them to color match the body or painting them black?

Welcome to the forum BTW! :cheers:

I'm gonna do a lil custom stuff. All i can say is there will be LED's and paint. I didnt go the oven route. I used my heat gun. It only took me about 5 mins to seperate them.

Thanks for the welcome.

Heat gun huh? Can you elaborate on what all that method entails? I'd prefer that over baking the housings.

Was real easy actually. I just turned the setting to medium heat on my heat gun and moved it along the seam until it was pliable. That was it really. No big deal.
