heckler Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 hair dryer should work, just might take a bit of time. I use a heatgun, as there easier and hotter - also you can control the temperature. Good one are not cheap. I've taken my lights appart several time now, got it down to a fine art. Silicone is what used to seal the lense on, but not the best stuff as its not a 100% seal (from past experiance!) Well, according to the instruction, you need to drill holes to secure the lense to the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayman Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 You probably need some specialist silicone, what is that black silicone you can get? I think gzaerojon uses it for his refurbs? Is it tigerseal or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Konrad Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 if you are struggling with simple take off/put in lenses and seal properly, just give it to someone who knows what they are doing. It's a LOT of work to cut/glue/adjust/seal clear ones, not to mention painting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flukey-lukey Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 anyone have't fitted new lense from supattgaz? Yup... I was going to do it myself but decided it was too much like hard work. So I gave them to my bodyshop guy and he sorted it. Took him about 2 hours per light and didn't look very easy. You'll probably need a dremel tool etc to trim the edges. Here they are fitted.
