Chrome peeling off from the inside of the housing of my jdm headlights.

This week looked like a DIY JDM headlight restoration...

So it has began...the toughest job in this DIY really is separating the lenses.

I did not go with the oven route...and went with the heatgun process. I know some of you did, but since it's my first time I did not want to take any risks of melting this JDM gem.

Took nearly one hour each of constant heating, pulling, heating, and pulling again. Heck I had to use both hands and feet!

Day 1 - removing of the headlights

- Open headlights housing

- Washing/Sanding/masking

From flaky chrome.....to classy black
