Hi guys, so I've wanted TE50 headlights for like since I had the car and finally got them done today
![]() What you'll need... Headlights ( obviously lol ) I'm doing my au but I've done lancer headlights and tail lights aswell Paint : I went with body colour in my case, winter white but black or dark grey would look sick! Screwdrivers : both flat and Phillips 7mm- 10mm- 13mm spanners ( for bumper removal) Patience lol and a few beers And an oven !! So on with the work!! First grab a cold beer ( this will help removing the bumper) and proceed to take out bolts, removethe bottom tray under bumper and the plastic shrouds inside wheel arches. Once removed take out the 2 13mm bolts either side (1 each side) and remove bumper. Remove headlights ( 4 bolts each 10mm) disconnect globes and remove all wiring for parkers.your headlight should look like this... ![]() Ok so were ready for the oven work lol. Preheat. Oven to 100 degrees and place a damp towel on a baking tray put light in oven on towel and cook For 5 or so mins or untill golden brown haha. Take the light out the oven a gently pry with a screw driver untill it separates from backing, be careful its hot . Once open it should look like this ... ![]() To remove the bezel you need to unclip the indicator shroud but slipping a butter knife down both sides pushing it out with your finger from the inside, if you look inside the shroud youll see the clips which look like this.. ![]() Once you have this out you will see the screw what holds in the bezel which you need to remove. Heres a pic again its white as the chrome was to hard to see in photo lol.. ![]() Now paint your bezel in desired colour.. ![]() Assembly is reverse be sure to put bezel screw in before clipping in indicator shroud push lense on, it may need the oven for another 5 mins Now enjoy your te50 style headlights!!!! xD .. ![]() You should have something like this ... ![]() ![]()

You can also use a heat gun to open them up. Mine only has two settings 60/600.
I use 600 and just keep moving it. If you hold it in one place too long you'll melt stuff. It's good this way because a) you don't need a commercial sized oven ![]() |
