Jtrain's Headlight build thread

Hey everyone- I've finally started the quad projector retro fit in my headlights.

Looks stupid easy-- I started the painting today!

Check back often I'll post pictures along the way.

Throw the lights in your oven at 250 degrees for 12 min.. This melts the glue holding it together.

opposite of opening them. Put clear back on, put in oven, reheat, and press tightly together after heating.

Updates!

Well the G got fixed a lot sooner than i thought (and for about 1% of the cost i expected)

So- no projectors for now.. but this is what I got done for tonight.


It's going in the body shop monday to get the front bumper fixed- TIA for ignoring that horrible gash.

And I have a lot of cloudiness on the plastic of the headlight-- I'll restore it when I find sometime.
