how do you open the headlight cover?

[Maxx]

thanks bro.

seems like its work using the boiling water to open up the headlamp. Ok i'll try.
my headlamp has the bulb protector and its already dull.i plan to remove it.
is it ok? does the bulb too hot that might damage the inner chrome parts?

good idea of the aluminium folder


thanks a lot.

what car/headlamp?
if using H4 better not remove the bulb protector.
maybe u can just polish it and put it back.

im not sure if its for shield or something.

if no problem without it than ok la.
btw, do not touch/wipe the chrome parts. it easily drop/"tanggal".

headlamp

my ride, elantra 96 has small headlamp like honda EG (facelift also looks the same).the headlamp is glass but the inner is poor plastic.you know la korean car weakers point is the plastic parts.
the headlight is very poor even at hi beam.i've change to 100W but then realise, the temperature becoming worst and now use 60W only. Better!!

actually i prefer to send it for rework to any worksyop that experience. you know, the expetise might do it well.i'd ask a few places but they suggest to replace new headlamp...:(

anyway..thanks to all..i plan to do it myself and update it in here...cheers!

ive done this before :D... all i do is put a small nail between the black cover & glass then by using a knife cut the glue bit by bit :). u must have a very high patient as u cant force it to open. btw, the glue is silicon glue dont think it will melt easyly.

 

[Maxx]

actually the silicon glue melts quite easily. u can just immerse the lamp in hot water. n slowly do like u did. will be easier.

Bro, question..

If i wanna spray flat black color on the crome area of my head light like existing headlight sale in market anyone can give an idea on these?

1) How about the reflection of light come out from the head light? Is it less brigthess or no reflection at all?

2) Can lasting the paint black color in the headlight, cause hot temperature come out from bulb?

Anyone has tried this before please advise...TQ
