3rd Gen BHLM + Retrofit Projector

Looks great. I like satin black a lot, but I do like how the gloss black actually looks darker...to me anyways.

 

Oh it has been done

 

More pics bruh

 

Will do later today. I'm going to bed for a few hours! Lol.

 

Nice. Now im torn

 

How did you get the amber acrylic cover to stay put behind the turn signal grille?

 

I used two-part epoxy to glue the amber acrylic to the “grill”. I do recommend that you only put the epoxy around the edges of the “grill”. I put glue on the middle and made a mess

 

Would you be willing to make and sell me a set of the amber covers? I dont have the right tools to cut the acrylic..

 

Off topic, but can you post pictures of your front bumper?

 

@chuymoreno wanna make a couple more of those amber pieces?

 

It is not that hard, I used a grinder to cut the acrylic. There’s also a few videos on YouTube on how to cut acrylic. I could make the acrylic cover but you would have to send me your headlights which would be too much of a hassle

 

Here’s my instagram page, I have a few pictures there https://www.instagram.com/blue.tacoma/

 

Those turn signal shields look good on there. Nice job.

 

Just saw this new product from TheRetrofitSource... It's suppose to make getting rid of the permaseal easier... I'd like to see if anyone has tried it or is willing to try it since I'm not able to being deployed and all... Lol

Edit: Heres the store link - https://www.theretrofitsource.com/a...imoto-permatrator-solution-for-permaseal.html

 

Wow, that's a great find (assuming it works)! I'd be interested in hearing someone's results with this too

 

Yeah I REALLY want to know if this works. I'm trying to avoid the conversation with my wife as to why I'm cooking parts of my truck.

 

Wanna know how I know you didn't read the description...

"Keep in mind, this isn't a magical serum that just pops the housings right open, it's merely a supplement to make the process easier."

 

Let's quote the whole description.

"Liquidy Goodness: What the hell is it? Permatrator is an injectable solvent that takes no bull from the worst of sealants. We summoned the retrofit gods for a magic elixir to make permaseal easier to work with and remove, and they granted our wish with this priceless nectar. Well, not priceless, it's $30. If you've ever had to deal with permaseal before, you know this is pennies compared to the anger caused trying to open those hellacious housings.
Necessary Evil: Permaseal is the term we coined for high-temp sealant used on many newer headlights in recent years that isn't quite-so-compliant to being opened. The trick used to be high temperatures for longer periods of time to get the permaseal to lose it's vice-like grip. With this higher temperature penetrating the housing, the plastics can be easily marred or damaged trying to open the housings. Have no fear, Permatrator is here!

Usage: Slowly inject the solution directly on and into the permaseal. Allow a few minutes for magic to happen, and start gently prying the housing apart at the seal. Voila, magic! Keep in mind, this isn't a magical serum that just pops the housings right open, it's merely a supplement to make the process easier."

@SearArtist as a side note, I could of sworn this thread was a place to get advice from people about tips and tricks for BHLM. Not a place for back handed insults. I'm sure you're a nice guy in person though...

 

Just changed my mind on going with this style but with MGM highlights. Decided to go ALL Matte black instead. I guess just being safe since I know all black looks great..
