Sean1933 Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 Just fitting them now, cheers mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suprattgaz Posted December 23, 2007 Author Share Posted December 23, 2007 Sean, you got untrimmed didn't you - trim them back as far as flush as you can with the lip otherwise they will stick out from the car too much on the wing and bonnet side of the light. You will see what i mean when you offer them up. Good luck with fitting everyone! Any questions please don't hesitate to ask. I have done this enough times now to know all the tricks - better safe than sorry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jspec Germany Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 Can you just tell us the tricks then? How about a pictured tutorial? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suprattgaz Posted December 23, 2007 Author Share Posted December 23, 2007 Can you just tell us the tricks then? How about a pictured tutorial? LOL, see second thread. That is about all I can help with except specifics. Only extras I can think of are try and keep the lenses as tight to the original lens as you can or it will look out of place with the car line, keep offering up to the car throughout the process. Try your damned hardest to keep it all water tight cos they are a pain if there is a leak, nothing worse than condensation in your new lights. ummm, clean and polish the lense internally before sealing it.......can't think of much else. Should all be in the fitting guide i wrote up this summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlton Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 when spraying the inserts do you have to sand them down and prime them before spraying or is it okay to spray straight onto the surface? I have got some 'hot paint' from Halfords and am hoping to give it a go tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mintedm Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 i keep looking at the guide, do u really need to split this in the first place can the clear lense not just be cut out and demeled in place? tryed it with the heatgun and the thing is solid, dont want to distort it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mintedm Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suprattgaz Posted January 9, 2008 Author Share Posted January 9, 2008 The insert is too close to the lense (like touching it). To cut it out in place you will deffinitly damage the insert. I have though about it several times, and there is no way but to remove the lense. Start in a corner (bottom inner, where there is the biggest gap) heat and use a screwdriver or somehitng to start to prise it open. Once it gets going you are off, it's just the first release that is hard. I have done it 4 times now and can have one open in 5 mins, it's just technique. Any more questions, keep em coming, i'm not shy!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jspec Germany Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Mine arrived today. They look nice. I'm going the oven method again as that worked last time. Low heat and check em often. They come apart pretty easy with a screwdriver after they're warm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
