BHLM tomorrow.. kinda nervous!

Going to attempt to do the BHLM tomorrow. Hope everything goes smooth. I've done my homework, so I will put it to the test.

 

good luck

 

as per the usual


Good luck!

 

GL.

I say keep/reuse as much of the OE sealant as possible.

Re-used OE sealant then a decent bead of Silicone all around, 0 issues with leaks, condensation, etc...

 

This mod was the one that made me the most nervous but it was one of the simplest ones. The only scary part is when you are peeling the headlights apart it will make noises like the lens is cracking .. it is just the sealant letting go. After that as long as you take your time and since you did your homework, you will be fine! Are you using Plasti-dip or regular paint for the mod? Good luck!

 

did mine a few days ago, turned out great.

 

Yes. Use the old sealant. I didn't and ended up buying some eBay lights

 

Do you guys know if the headlights stink the house by putting them in the oven?

 

I was thinking of using a flat black plastic paint.

 

i did the exact same and i have zero issues. but i used quite a bit of silicone window sealant. the entire tube on both actually haha i just wanted to be sure.
my one problem (which was totally my fault) is that on one of the headlights i forgot to turn the oven off and it started smoking. unfortunately it bubbbled the lens a tiny bit.

 

Make sure u give enough time to dry. I was in a hurry and got a few little scratches when putting the 2 halves together. Im the only one who will probably notice

 

Well, more than one way to skin a cat. I've pulled mine apart 2x now, using 3m window weld each time, and I have never had any leaks or condensation either.

Either way, I'm sure you'll be fine w/ the mod. Its an easy job

 

Success!!! Everything went great as planned.

 

Nicely done. And a celebration beer too

 

That looks good....this is on my list to do early next month. Did you use window weld?

 

Damn i gotta do this finally. Looks great, congrats. As for the oven smell, how did that go? Not sure how the guy I'm renting from will feel about this one.. haha

 

there's no smell - at least I didn't have any. The oven should be off and it's not that hot.

 

No used clear RTV silicone. I think it works great.

So from start (pulled lights off and into oven) to finish (lights back on truck) how long did it take?
