BHLM success/failure

I want to do the BLHM but am afraid of screwing up my stock lights also. I'm going to buy a spare set to mess with and sell the stockers off if the mod works out. I figure in the end, I'll come out even.

 

That is why we "pre-burn." Once they are dry (15-20 mins), I put them back in the oven at 250 degrees ON for 5 mins. This will burn off any chemicals that would be given off as a gas.

 

came out good no leaks but....minor scratches around the lens when i put em together

 

just bought one used headlight on ebay for $10!!!

Its gonna be my test dummy

 

Does it matter how long the headlight assembly is left apart? Does the adhesive lose it's integrity after a day or so or do the headlights seal up regardless of how long you leave the assebly apart?

 

I had my assembly apart for 6 months It doesn't matter. Just reheat.

 

Thanks. I'm going to attempt mine over Labor Day weekend (I'm leaning towards painting them white to match the truck though). They won't be apart nearly 6 months but maybe a week.

 

so my headlight came in yesterday!!
I did the BHLM and wow, it was so much easier that i had ever expected!! If you have any skills at all that you can pull this mod off

 

DONE!!
Pics tomorrow

 

Thanks to Viet's write up it went smooth. Except that i forgot to clean in side one of the lens, so I will have to reopen it.

 

^^looks awesome!!

 

Holy shit man, when people say to take your time and make sure to let them dry before putting them back together, you take it to another level!

 

Looks awesome dude...I've also been hesitant to try this mod myself but after seeing yours, I'm definitely gonna try it...did you just follow Viet's write-up?

 

Nice pics! How did u do that?

 

yep just followed his write up...its almost to easy

 

I just did the BHLM last night and unfortunately.... don't like the result as much as I thought I would.

Dammit

 

i also live in san diego. Is there any way you can do mine or help me?

 

should be an option on the poll for people who got the headlights out only to find out their ovens to small

 

I put screwed up because right after I did it one of them leaked in the rain and fogged up. all it took was another bead of silicone around it and good to go for almost a year now.
