A small dab of jb weld

 

Ok well let me say this then ...... I put some jb weld on them, in numerous spots around the halo, and one has come off. I welded them last Thursday then finally installed the headlights yesterday. Drove my truck around the block to check on a few other things I been working on and noticed one of the rings had fallen. Sooooooooo what could I have done wrong? Kinda hard to mess up mixing the jb weld then putting it on. I used the yellow/black tubes with a strength of 2200ish lbs as opposed to the stronger stuff but I didn't think it needed much strength to hold it.

 

Small piece of wire like a bread tie center.

 

Does the oven cleaner just dissolve the chrome? I got some paint thinner to remove the paint. How long did u let it sit on there

 

I used Steel Stik putty and the regular JB Weld epoxy around that.

 

That is odd. I've used jb weld a dozen times and it never fails. Another method would be using bead wires or a thin gauge wire

 

Yeap!

This is what it looks like after 10 mins. Wash it and dry it after you're done. You may have to do it once or twice

 

ill get some and try this method. after i use some paint stripper and expose the chrome.

 

My shrouds came out great

 

My bowls would stick :/

 

Random cracking too

 

Exactly what kind of bulb light tho ? I try ordering bUT there are a lot of options

 

Get the yellow heavy duty can. Any brand works

 

D2S. Kelvin wise, that's up to you. I recommend anywhere from 4500k-6500k

4500k is the brightest (lumen wise) you can get
5000k is the whitest, color wise
6500k has a tint of blue in it

 

I may try all 3. Haha thanks man

Yeah I found it odd as well. I was very confident it was on there good and this wouldn't be a problem. But ok cool I'll see what I can make happen. Thanks for the help

 

lowes have it?

 

I didn't see a spot of oven cleaner on my arm, back in the day, and it burnt a dime size hole through my skin.

 

i have full PPE for it, i want to get down to plastic, so u just spray it on and wait ten minutes then wipe it off or rinse it off? @gym_jamz

 

You can get it at walmart. Yeah, spray it all over, wait for about 5-10 mins and rinse off. You may have to spray it again in areas that are hard to reach. You can do it to your shrouds, bowls, and bezels

 

bezels as int he trim pieces?
