Yea pics will be great. So the hairdryer works eh? Did you use a screwdriver to pull it apart as you were going or what? Maybe a quick re-write of the How To guide is in order?

 

[madgamer2006]

ill write up some form of guide in the next couple of days. Works been ontop of me lately... but today me making the most of a sick day (yes actually sick) got me working on my car.

I just re sealed the lights and they look great.

Photos will come also in a couple days when i get around to it. but for now, back to being sick lol

just put the lights back on the car... it looks cool but i just wish there was a way to dull out the old headlight outa plastic as its weathered and chipped...

anyone know of some polish or anything?

 

[madgamer2006]

Guide to come but here are a couple of first take pics... I still have to buff the exterior of the car and buff and polish the lights (as well as clean the horrible red dirt on the rubber seal near the indicators but its a working progress...

Infact, i still need to buy the buffer lol... This weekend i have Pulled my car to bits and re assembled it without fault... thats gotta be a record for someone who never takes cars apart lol

Well good luck on finding someone to swap their desired lights to the lower models lights. I completed the mod myself and once the lights are apart, its dead easy. Just stick them in the oven at 100 degrees for 2-3 minutes, use a wide flat screwdriver to pull apart, when the glue gets hard again, repeat process until the lights are able to be pulled apart by hand.

Mate I'm only 16 so if I can do it with no drama's, I'm sure you can.

iv done with retro...i opened lights in cooking oven and opened easily with no harm to lights.

iv installed mercedese bi-xenon projectors in lights..now the car has pure cut-off lights with sexy look.
