Hi all
While my car is in the bodyshop having a few bits done and the headlights were already removed I thought Id do a little project on them, I was looking for another set to practise on but after I found out the price for them I decided to bite thew bullett and go for it on my own ones so here goes......
Before
The Headlight lens was then split for the main unit by placing in the oven to soften up the mastic
The Headlight lens was then split for the main unit by placing in the oven to soften up the mastic
The Headlight lens was then split from the rest of the shell
Holes were drilled in the appropiate places
The rest of the shell was dismantled and sprayed satin black
Once complete the shell was rebuilt
White LEDs were prepared using resistors and heatshrink
LEDs were then placed in the holes drilled and glued into place
A simple test to make sure they were all still working using a battery
The lens was screwed back together
LEDs on with Lens
I also purchased some Super bright LED Sidelights and some LED Indicators with resistors that will be fitted Front and rear
The Headlights are now ready to be put back together, I will be having to brightness's on the lights 100% when the lights aren't on, and once they are on they will dim down to around 25%
More updates coming soon!!
