Be aware if you splitthat light open chances are its going to get condensation in it...I have done it a few times..sometimes I get em sealed up good..sometimes not.

hey pahrump, ive wanted to do this on the past few vehilces ive owned but never got around to it. i think im gonna do it to my 250 pretty soon tho. you say youve done them before. what is the best process to doing them. (mainly how long in the oven and how hot?)

thanks

I have never taken the 08 super duty ones apart..but other models...usually about 250 for about 20 mins did the trick.

Lower heat for longer times is better....just take the light in and out and keep trying to take it apart..

but I personally would not recomend it.

The OUO lights are painted on the OUTSIDE.

i did mine with the clear/black mix. it turned out well. i actually had a local paint shop do it. they did all the light lenses and side vents for 250. way cheaper than anything else. i didn't go as dark as they did on that sema truck though. it does cancell out o bunch of light though. runnung them on high beams now is about the same as dims were before. i think i will replace them with the ones on ebay when i get the money. the paint clear is def. a good option though. ill try to get some pics up for you.

i have changed the grill out for a black one now but this gives you an idea. if you mix it on the lighter side you can adjust the color darkness with the amount of coats you put on.

i also had the ford emblems, fog lights, turn signals on the mirrors, 3rd brake, tails, and the vents painted black.

I had my tails done that way...they came out great.
