I keep seeing 2012 RR with the new "black" headlights and I have to admit I am a bit jealous. I have been offered a set for £900 with my 2010 headlights in p/ex which I am not going to waste my money on. Does anybody know if the 2010 headlights can be modded or are they sealed units?

I guess if they are like the units on the d3 and RRS you can split them, but this does involve using an oven to get the unit nice and warm and then prising the lens away from the back of the lamp...

Not a job for the faint-hearted

Please think long and hard before you try it!

I did mine in black in 2009 just after the first facelift and they were a to do! see below...

Opening headlights is not hard if you know how to use a hair dryer and prep plastic surfaces with great care:

You have to be really careful to obtain spot on work such as Craig's.

If you have never done it, I suggest you find a broken/cheap similar headlight to try on (D3, FL2, D4 or other modern headlight will do)

Hope these links helps before you try, or not:

Let us know what your plan is

Thanks for all your replies. There is not a hope in hell I will crack those lights open. Does anybody know the approximate cost of the headlights from the stealer? How much are mine worth?

Dealer price is around £1000, check for sets on the bay, they come up once in a while.
