Has anyone heated and opened up their headlight so they can be painted. I have done this with the headlights on my truck. Never seen it here. The goal would be to reduce the chrome and darken them up a bit. Thx.

 

I wouldn't mess with it, if it were me....But If I were to..I'd get a set of lights as an extra pair and experiment with them before I'd f-ck up the only set I had...

 

Do some searching here, I believe there have been a few members that have done / tried it. IIRC the glue that holds our headlights together is extremely strong and it was very difficult to pry apart the lights. I have also done this on several other vehicles but was dissuaded from trying it on the XF because of what I read here.

 

Someone definitely did it, but they had a company do it for them.

 

YES thank you i found that post and emailed the company in Jersey that does it.... waiting to hear back on price and turn around...

 

so what is the name of the company? I would be interested in adding LED to match the facelift XF daytime running lights

 

here is the site. i was texting with Rich, $300 for the painting. Ill be sending him my lights in march , while im in Palm Springs on vay k
