Headlight Retrofit build thread

hey everyone we don't usually take pics while we build but figured it wouldn't hurt for this build.
Prepping the donor set we keep on hand for faster retrofitting on 3rd gens

Out of the oven and seperated and now to clean up the sealant.

Old sealant out, channels still look like nothing happened

Trimming the oem projector bezel


Trimming the rear housing to allow the new projector free range of movement

Cleaned up

Perfect fit of rx350 projectors


Ready to assemble with new sealant

TRD Rep paint job



Will update with pics as we go with the build

 

Which projectors? RX350's?

 

What temp/duration are you doing?
Let's see some triple mini H1's!!!
BTW nice gun

 

Def subbed

 

Yes sir

 

255 at 15 minutes and some tools to help open them

 

i could do triple projectors, problem is blinker wouldn't be adjustable so it would be a gamble without the vehicle. You did give me an idea though

 

Main post updated, ready to assemble

 

I woulda smoked that reflector. Other than that, good job.

 

what tools do you use/recommend using to open them up?
Can you post a link to what sealant you are using to seal them up. TIA

 

I like the chrome around the projector like OEM pro and mesojdm's first set.

 

Gotta do what my clients request

 

It's retrorubber from Theretrofitsource.com

Tools is flat head screw driver I have a favorite one I use for perma seals

 

make that money!

 

We were the first actually with custom reflectors hehe. We sent them out and had them replicated in clear smoked and tinted.

This set was suppose to be oem replica

 

TY. You use saran wrap to cover the lens? Just for sctatch protecting? Do you cover them in the oven?

 

No just after the oven and during the build never in the oven. Do it to avoid scratching the lens.

 

How much would you charge to do mine? all I would want is to paint them to replicate the pros, with the orange markers lightly tinted. No light mods. Baking them and stuff I wouldn't want to mess up
