headlight opening Part 2

[Ian whu]

Decided i couldn't be bothered to spend hours baking headlight,
so got the dremel versatip out and decided to cut it open, 10 mins was open.

edges are a bit rough, will see how it goes back together next week
this is a European LHD headlight, has got a horizontal adjuster, so wondering if it could do RHD aswel

A bit rough you say? Looks like your dog chewed it open ;)

Valuable effort though

I cant wait to meet you. You are either mad or dont give a toss
I just love that you overcook an expensive headlamp in an oven and then take to it with a dremel and cut them open.....and leave the edges 'a bit rough'

I cant wait to meet you. You are either mad, dont give a toss or fairly clever!

I'm shooting it's the second of your three options :lol:

i reckon option 1

it was cheap enough from ebay, was better doing that then doing one of my own

I agree, i'd have sooner you made this ahem 'beautiful' mess on a run down headlight, than an actual running, working one from your car, because otherwise, well, you'd be a bit frustrated!

I have now removed option 3 from my post. I think its 1 AND 2!

 

[croyde]

Can you remind me ian, why are you doing this again?

 

[Ian whu]

was seeing how easy it was to bake them open, to get the Drl inside the lights working

 

[croyde]

Of course. I was looking at them today and thinking, as they do not work, what a shame they just didn't mimic the front of the 60s model in sheet metal or plastic.

 

[stevec]

Yeh. I was just looking and thinking, throw the useless drl lens thing away and replace it with a useful driving lamp or something.

 

[shivatastic]

am glad someone else has done this and a unit which won't be missed.

These are my favourite posts ever. It's like Carry On Open my Headlights
