Woah! Another retrofitsource.com group buy! Lets get 25!

Did I see correct you got into a fender bender Ant?

 

you saw correctly

 

im kind of at a stand still. Im in the process of hooking all the wire up to test to make sure I hooked it up alright.

 

That blows man sorry to hear. I put a dent in my hood (right in the front) a few months ago. Running through the woods here slid into a tree. Dented to hood and pushed in the bumper, I pushed the bumper back out with my hand but the hood is not fixable. I put a little touch up paint on it so it won't rust, maybe in a few more months i'll get a new hood. thought about a certifit hood but i have heard mixed reviews on them so IDK what to do

 

yea, situations like these suck!...

 

So i have my first set hooked up but when i turn the headlights on they dont turn on but when i turn my brights on they work fine. help?

 

swap your highbeam wires with your low beams.. same with the other side.

 

sweet worked, thanks ant

 

yayuh

 

So I drove around all weekend with no fogging, but after my ride to work this morning they are fogged inside. Should I take them apart and re-seal or wait till they dry out and try to silicone the outside? If that doesn't work, and I have to re-bake them, what will the silicone do in the oven?

 

Is there another group buy going to happen?

 

Could moisture be getting in other places, like where the parking/turn signal lights are. I need to mention that it was a beautiful day out when i did the retro, but since then it has been raining. No moisture in the light all weekend untill i drove to work this morning

 

Is there water physically in the headlight? If not it could just be that there was a little moisture from humidity that got trapped in there when you sealed them back up and just needs to be burned out. I would drive all the time with the lights on for a couple of days and watch it when it rains. Also check the vent. If it fogs up again, it will need to come apart. Did you use more/new sealant when you reassembled them?

 

Yes, I put new sealant in when they were reasembled. I left the factory sealant in there but i also put the black butyl rubber in there. I believe they are sealed up tight, i don't see how there could be any leaks but who knows.

 

i usually seal it with a bead of silicone just for extra measures

 

It's been my experience the silicon does not adhere to plastic well, at least my headlights it didn't. I'd wait a few days before busting them open again.

 

try using hot glue gun... it works for me

 

Good tip I'll keep that in mind. My kit just crossed into Canada. Should be here by Wednesday.

 

I'm still waiting for my kit to arrive. I guess this is one of the drawbacks from being on the West Coast.

 

i got mine...then again, i was the first they sent.. LOL
