Default Painted bezel inside headlight.

I finally got the curious to remove the lens and paint the inside bezel of my headlights

What was the method used heating the seal? I used oven on last truck, but thinking a heat gun will be used on my new one.

Do you have any side pics or can you take one? I Would like to see how the yellow reflector looks wrapped in white.

I put it in the oven on 275 for 10 minutes, I used a jet gun to get the old adhesive off, I resealed of with black silicone, it took me two tubes to reseal

Looks great man! And for you others, I use 200 degrees for fifteen minutes twice and works like a charm. Be careful with using silicone as it will emit a chemical vapor that coats the inside if you headlight lense, then your screwed! Butyl tape is the way to go, cheap and very pliable.

Sorry this is off subject, but is there somewhere you found how to get the upper bumper off, or info on it to order a new one?

Why do you want to replace it or take it off?
