i had one apart a few weeks ago too stop it fogging up but didnt think to check,

ive done this on a few of my past motors and it looks good

cheers mate,
im not talking about the plastic/glass,
im trying to work out wether the chrome reflective part is one peice or 2
if the first part of it seperates ican take of its chrome apearance whithout making it mot failable,

but i thought its the chrome bit that makes the light shine in the right direction.

ai it is mate,
but some cars have the chrome reflective part in 2 pcs eg mondeo /focus and some other cars so the 1st front part of the chrome can be Rubbed off it goes black leaving the lights with a black look which wont afect the beam pattern as its the back pc of the chrome part that does all the reflecting and not the front thats just Facial,

ive had a nosey at the puggys head lamps today and they can be blackend me thinks so thats my next mod for the list,
im going too buy a cheap set of headlamps first tho to be used as Guinea pigs

I don't understand.

would that effect look right on a d9?

does a 406 headlight come apart like that ?
is it not just 1 unit ?

the glass bits stuck fairly tight to the plastic bit.

there Easy to take apart mate,
afew clips you pull off and then just go round the Edge of it with a pallet knife, some people use a stanley knife but ive slipped in the past and slashed my hand,

itook the drivers side lens/glass off mine as it kept steaming up 5mins tops to split them,

Hmm. Doesn't seem to be very much difference to me. But I'm not really into mods.

it really doesnt look much different at all.
