Headlight Modification

Looks great! Nice write up also!

So time wise how long did each headlight take? Seems like if you went into it knowing that each light would take you an hour it might not be that bad.

All said and done it took a whole day for both lights. I could probably do it in 4 hours now. Not that I'm ever going through that again.

BEAUTIFUL!

Thanks for the DIY, I can't wait to do this on mine.

Is there a sure fire method to sealing the housing properly?

Everything I've seen points to silicon of that windshield stuff. I was my car yesterday with no issues. i guess time will tell. If I get condensation, I will just add additional silicone.

looks fantastic. what springs are you on?

Prokit. It would probably run the steeda progressive springs now, but they weren't available at the time.

looks killer!!

I recommend using windshield epoxy, much better seal. Heat up your epoxy in the oven it will help it fill in the seam also us a caulk gun. I did three sets of superduty head lights with no fogging issues.

Thanks for the post. Saved for later when I plan to do this soemtime in the future.

Thank you so much for this post. It's going to be my weekend project as I just got in my diode dynamics. And needed a good review in order to save time and money. I hope I don't break my headlights.

That was my problem. I needed to get it done while my bumper was off and I couldn't wait 10 days.

Heating the headlight??!!...couldn't a metal separation tool be heated instead?

I don't think so, but I didn't try it. You have to heat the glue to get it plyable.
