black optics - Toyota Altezza, 2.0 liter, 2000
I’ll tell you how I inked the front optics, maybe it will come in handy for someone ...
1) the most important thing in this process is to find strength in yourself (for someone like it, I personally looked at the headlights for a month and understood that blackening cannot be avoided) And so what we have, but we have two pairs of old worn and dull headlights
2)
I started shooting with PTF since they are smaller and generally just practice in front of large lanterns
3) disassemble, here it’s better not to rush so as not to break anything, put
the lantern in hot water, after 5 blowjob we pull out and pull out the glass, while the glue softens and becomes very elastic
see how it all works
4) paint it with a black mat (you can also look very honorable in the color of the car) and collect the glue with a building dryer, I also walked thoroughly with a sandpaper of 3000
5) polish, set and rejoice
With large lanterns, everything is the same, only during assembly I added black glue along the seam for gluing glasses
Issue price: 250 ₽here I’m afraid to touch the rear lights, I’ll have to cut them with a dremel :(
It turned out well) But you are lucky, you can’t just tear off the glass from the Germans) Full for the car and for what you yourself did)
thank you very much)
I will buy eyes, the diodes there are exactly the same as in my head optics) they will paint the substrate from white to chrome)
good luck in all endeavors! and will you keep your eyes peeled? Or do it yourself from super bright diodes?
Yeah) Thanks for the advice;)
It's just that such a job is waiting for me soon) the fogs will also be sorted out due to the deplorable state ...
+ I will try to install diode "angel eyes" there)
Well, to cool down, of course, ideally in the oven, it was necessary, but my wife would kill me, eighty or seventy degrees, the fogs were
picked up because of their deplorable state,
and then polished with mashikka and paste with 3000 sandpaper, only there is not glass, it's plastic
Useful entry)
When the tumanki were dismantled, were they put in only boiled water or already in a slightly cooled one?
Did you take the fogs apart after they got wet?
Was the fog glass treated with 3000 sandpaper on top, and then polished?)
Well, if someone helps in hand-made tuning, my report on blackening optics will be very happy!
I came up with the water myself, because my wife did not let me go to the oven, and put the soldering iron away!
in the water for about five ten minutes, well, to warm up, the temperature is eighty degrees, some just open with building hair dryers
Lots of useful info here!

What can I say… BEAUTIFUL! I, too, will blacken myself in the spring ... Plus, I have a black one, I think it will be good ...
and who gave you advice about hot water? At what temperature do you put it in water and for how long?
I wanted to solder headlights and fogs with a thin soldering iron ...

yes yes ... I watched this thread ... and just about the water there is no mine ...))
as I read it in time))) thanks for the detailed description, I plan to do the same in the near future, I was worried about the color, since the car is silver, will black headlights look. Now I see it looks awesome
Yes! maybe even better :) I imagined the lenses and washed everything inside from dirt, and the part that is painted does not affect the light in any way ... maybe only as a hood, the reflector itself and the lens inside are deeper there
on the 10th lance, we dismantled the headlights ... we also filmed with the help of a building hair dryer ... we also screwed the lenses there))
:) let Freud thank you for correcting me, but I won’t correct it, I liked it!
yes, laziness just slows me down sometimes, but I fight it

everything according to Freud, do not subtract, do not add)
ps. great job, I will add - the main thing is not to be lazy.
