headlight mod
 

Im in the process of cooking my headlight right now, I cant seem to separate the glue... its pretty tough. Pics later.

Should have just made a thread when you were done. Make sure you seal it good.

x2.

oh by the way, my camera is broken haha.

^^^ I had a question but then just figured it out

Then why make a thread at all.


That is like saying I just SASed my truck and 60s with w cat semi engine in it. Just pointless. lol

Pictures or GTFO

lol im just trying to stir the pot with all of you pic fiends... working yet?

taped them/prepped them for painting tomorrow

I just finished mine, i found that the oven set at 240 for ten min work great no problem just when i removed the tape it removed some of the chrome

Need some advice on the adhesive.

I bought some GE waterproof silicone caulk.
Is that the same thing as silicone adhesive?

Thats what I used never had a problem 2 years and still holding

it says on the tube "tack free 30 min, full cure 24 hours" will i still be able to install them in a few hours on my truck and be fine? or do i need to wait until tomorrow to install them back on

Wait til tomorrow. Let it set up and cure before you do anything with them.

alright thx... guess i am driving my moms car tonight haha

i want my nightshade too!!!

You can always set them outside in the sun to cure

or if you have a heat lamp set them about 5 feet from it

painting turned out super clean, and I am gluing as we speak. its about 80F out side right now, so they will be in the sun soon

finished, ill get pics in the morning, Turned out great though.

Only thing I did not like about this mod was pulling them apart and it took 2-3 days for completion of drying times.

you can buy the black headlights on ebay for $106 shipped right meow. I think thats easier than messing with the oven and possibly destroying the headlights, not to mention that they might leak if you dont seal them properly

My experience is ebay lights like to leak.



AND FROM THE LACK OF PICTURES i'm guessing you must have rubberized your interior too?

I agree I did my stock headlights and one leaked bad.

I have had my ebay head/corners for about 3 years now with out a single problem.

well lets hope for the best!

pics?
