BLHM at the moment

My headlight is in the oven right now.....pretty nervous.

 

youll be fine. quit posting and go keep an eye on it though.

 

Post pictures right away...If you're doing a retrofit, post pictures of the process...Everyone else puts too many words in their explanation of headlight fixes.

 

did you put the painted piece in the over for a little bit to cure first? I have always done that to prevent the fumes from making a haze on the lens part.

 

Yea it cooked well. I didnt melt it lol

I.m just blacking it out, I took some pics of the process here and there so I'll be sure to put em up

Yea I baked after paint for that reason.




I have the right side in the oven right now prepping for separation at the moment. I'll update soon.

 

So I got them both done right now, the tuck should be complete in a couple of hours

 

haha ya dont worry about posting till after, youll end up like that one guy who melted his light

 

post pics! I'm gonna do this mod as well as soon as my grillcraft gets in!

 

bye bye





Deicided not to paint over the reflectors so I popped them out to tint them along with the signal light covers.













This is how the tinted reflector looks when light hits it.



I'll be sure to post more pics when I'm finished later.

 

looks good! can you post a pic when you get them back on?

 

that looks so good, dude. what did you use to tint the amber pieces?

 

Thanks I used a couple of coats of the VHT tint spray.

 

damn those look awesome man good job

 

DONE! I also recommend to check for caking on the plastic lens. Mine was so i used left over of a 3M lens repair kit to fix that problem...hence the blue tape.

I also recommend Meguiar's PLASTX. This product is amazing








So here she is after the re-install and after a little wash. Sorry for the delay in pics but I git a little busy yesterday afternoon.

Seeing as this was my first DIY mod, besides painting the lower center of the bumper to match, I was SUPER pleased at how it came out and that nothing turned into a puddle of plastic.

I also like how it looks against the dersert sand color,

Watcha guys think?












Next up, my $20 dollar Satoshi

 

looks awesome!

 

Thanks gouge. I got complete pics up now too.

 

THANKS. Makes me feel really good and proud about doing it myself.

 

On another note, i hit my 40,000 mile mark while test driving with the new light mod

 

Please color match the grille if you are going to go the RGM. You will thank me later
