    Default Taking lining off headlight lense

    I need help, appearantly the guys from RPM can do this but are on hiatus or something...

    I have linings attached to my headlight lenses, they have to be removed so I can either have them blacked out or chromed, then reattached.

    Who can do this for me?

    (not sure if this belongs in technical or cosmetic...)

    you need to heat it up so that the glue melts, then take it apart and paint it, then heat it up again and and let the glue melt back together. You can use a heat gun or put them in the oven.

    If you put it in the oven like most people do just be very careful not to melt the lights.

    Here's a link on a howto for a G35:
