then its a simple case of putting it all back together some people use silicone wen puting it back together 2 prevent leaks and the lamp fogging up i dident do this i just heated up the glue again and then stuck the front lenz back on i find the led's burn out prety fast depending on use and if u use silecone its a ***** 2 get apart again later :) so im just going 2 run a small beed of silicone around the edge once its all cooled down just so its easy 2 remove later and finaly test and install back in the car :) Attachment 43495 o yea if u are doing ihis on an ef ahhaha good ****ing luck geting the headlights out that screw underneath is a ****ing hore 2 get out :) |
yea dont point the heat gun at the carpet :) it burns its freezin outside thats why im in the basement :)
|
would the LED halo thingie pop or shadder or break whatever if u put them in the oven for like 3 mins at 300F...im just wondeing if its easier w the gun or the oven but im scared that my halo ring will break form the heat form the oven lol cuzz my headlgith skeeps on fogging up liek a ***** its pissign me off now i got a layer of frozen water n ice inside of it
|
oh ya btw really nice DIY descrition
|
great DIY :thumbup:
|
no its made of plastik it wil not shatter :)
u just want the glue 2 be warm so its kinda a race against time be4 it cools off :) be4 u get it apart :) what i forgot 2 do on this is its jeneraly the rezistor not the actual led that blows so if u can put the rezistor on the outside of the headlight then u can replace it wen it burns out without all this trouble :) if u are realy afraid of it braking u can use the gun its less heat that wil go on the ring but im not woried about it this is the 2nd set i have done and the others went in the oven |
lol thx alot man and i kow its a race agains time w the glue i did a pair of stock S2000 headlights using the oven lol it worked out just fine but the damn glue got all over the counter lol.....what kinda omh resistor did u use thx again
|

|

yes true the LED lights under neath cars r super super bright the rope leds r not ass bright to give em longer life time n low power output lol we all have crazy ideas crazy ideas lead to amazing ideas lol

I've had my angeleyes for almost as long as i've had my car.....3 years now just about... and they havn't burned out since.... but i find that i don't use them all the time... i have my halos hooked up to a switch in my car.... i tend to have them off but when i feel like showing off alittle i turn them on... plus its good to turn them off when you see cops up ahead... cause i mean those kinda flashy things just attracts them like moths to a flame... but since they aren't always on at night and i have the option i think that is one of the reasons why its lasted me so long...
heres a pic of the switch... i made it myself... i tried to make it look stock as if it came like that in the car.... also heres a pic of the angeleyes... mmmm sexy... lol http://img204.imageshack.us/img204/6606/4hf1.jpg http://img282.imageshack.us/img282/2439/dsc07513un8.jpg |

|
thast NICE...does anyone know where ic an purchase a pair of clear projectors for my EF...ive been looking around and couldnt find anything local...only on ebay adn shipping will cost almost as much as the product...
