    Never done demon eyes. As far as mounting halo to led high beam light you have it can just be glued. Won't get that hot.

    As long as you can hide it it will work fine. Just need to scuff both surfaces and clean with alcohol. Just be careful you don't mark up your lenses where the halo won't cover.

    Not advisable. May work for awhile but driver will be over worked and probably won't last very long. I think we all asked that same question in the beginning too. :hattip:

    He has a post on his website I believe of what needs to be cut for different stages? Marker light is plug n play. If you have turn also it just taps into the signal wire.

    What side of Houston are you located? I'm on the north if you need any advice or check out my retrofit.

    Okay, so the DD Amber 3" boards are out of stock for a significant time, but I'd like to put my headlights back together for now. I'll eventually put my Meso Sidemarkers in, but am considering just using the stock reflector/bulb until I can get the amber boards. How difficult and/or messy is it to re-open the headlights once they've been sealed with the RetroRubber, and left installed for 2 months?

    Terrible!!!! Talk about a mess. I’ve had customers of mine request different lights a year after I did theirs. When you reheat the retro and pull the lights apart the sealant goes everywhere and it’s difficult to remove from anything it gets on. It does it’s job for sure. Unless you have 2 extra sets of hands that is. Not to mention trying to reconstitute it for the reseal. My opinion...id wait if you can. I also might be able to get you a set of DD. I keep about 6-7 around for customers. I’d have to look. I just did a bunch this weekend.

    I will be doing this down the road. Would a lower temp help keep it from being so stringy or runny? I also read if you cut it with a razor as you open it helps keep it from getting on everything. :notsure:

    Might help. Extra set of hands would be a huge help.

    The problem I had was that the stringy sections broke off and fell back into the light getting on the reflector bowls. Terrible mess.
