Hi all

Great HowTo!

I did it myself, it's quite eazy if you know how to do it.

Just one addition: the opening (and re-sealing) is MUCH simplier that way:

- put the whole headlight in a backing oven, and heat it at 120 degrees Celsius (250 degrees Fahrenheit) for about 5 minutes (or as long as it needs to get the right temperature.
- wearing gloves, take it out (carefully, it's hot!), and remove the glass gently as mentioned in this how-to. It should come off nicely.

...convert your headlight following the how-to, then, when you're finished:

- do NOT mess around by trying to remove the sealant.
- put the glass and the body back in the oven, heat them again to 120 C (250 F).
- Wearing protection gloves again, remove them after 5 minutes and simply put them carefully back together. The sealant should be nicely soft, so it will be quite eazy.
- Firmly press the glass and the body together, and let the whole headlight cool down... you're done! smile.gif

The JDM's really look amazing, by the way... I strongly recommend this mod to anyone who can afford it (or loves its celica! wink.gif )

Cheers
