Optics. - Toyota Auris, 1.6 L, 2007

Optics  - Toyota Auris 16 L 2007

Auris clearly looks better with dark optics.

As well as underreporting.
They darted.

The headlights were removed in the yard.
They brought home, everyone washed and started working on the finishing touches.
And so you just can't take out the glass. Understood the problem. We put the headlight in the oven, 130 degrees for about ten minutes and the glass just spills out by itself. We were wrong in only one aspect. Clean the sealant while hot. Everything is disassembled and removed very simply.
We took out this chrome plated plastic. I take 1000 sandpaper, clean it with a solvent, paint and put everything back.

Everything took 2 and a half hours.

It looks super cool. Photo later.

This is not the first time I read about this method of parsing headlights, and every time I am surprised: how are you not afraid to melt them?)

In fact, they were afraid)
The funny thing is, our headlight did not fit into the oven) We wrapped the first in a wet rag, and the second, just put it underneath) There are no melts)

And by the way, there is still a jamb behind us. Plastic glass. I, as the smartest one, decided to wipe the glass with solvent) Wipe it and leave traces)

The glasses are already new, we want to get confused and put the lenses in the far one. Most likely with BMW)

even glasses like that ... push them into the oven))))

I would not like to know about it by the tanned crust)))

Actually it turned out fine! I saw it in the city!
I'm going to get confused myself!
Only the identity is dumb to shove into the oven, most likely I will cut off the glass with a hot air gun!
Hold 5 for bravery.
Great headlight recipe! )))
