Never like factory, unless your a very good painter.

 

baking headlights isnt hard. just make sure your in a super dry room when you seal them back up, so you dont get condensation

 

thanks for all the diff opinions. still havent decided which way ima go or if im even going to do it yet.

 

I've done a couple sets for customers and I use a tinted clear coat to achieve the effect. It shines like glass and will be ten times more durable and less of a pain in the ass compaired to that rattle can crap. Baking them and coating them from the inside works in some cases but I have also seen half assed jobs where the coating starts to fade directly where the bulbs are.

 

double post

 

A good way to keep the fading from the inside from happening is to switch to LEDs... A lot less heat...

 

Good point
