Yes, I dipped them as well. I was a little concern about the temp resistance at first, but no issues whatsoever so far.

I read somewhere that Plasti Dipped is rated for 300+ degrees. I've even seen people dip their exhaust tips.

Baking lights is super easy... like you have no idea. Just toss them in the oven for a few minutes and then pull them out and the lenses just come apart, it's as simple as that. You cannot mess it up unless you put it on 475 and leave them in for 6 hours.

I baked mine at 275 for 10 minutes. Take out and start to pry apart, if it seems too stiff, put in for a few more minutes.

This is a very summed up version of a how to.

I'm feeling a bit more comfortable with attempting this now. Really appreciate the link.

I had the eagle eye ones, they started falling apart at about 1 year. I replaced with oem a few months back, HUGE difference in quality!

I have a question about the Harley Edition headlights- I saw somewhere else where someone mentioned that they had to do some cutting on the header panel to get them to fit. He didn't go into much detail, but I'm assuming he was cutting on a 99-04 header panel, right???
My header panel is broken to the point I need to replace it, so if I go with an 05 panel, the Harley lights are just a no-mod bolt in, correct?
(Bumper is not an issue- I'm changing that out as well).
