R800NER Posted June 18, 2009 Posted June 18, 2009 Looks good so far guys, I REALLY REALLY want to do this mod, but don't trust myself! Quote
Grantmitchell Posted June 18, 2009 Posted June 18, 2009 Looks good so far guys, I REALLY REALLY want to do this mod, but don't trust myself! Ive just arrived offshore , but when i get back I will bake my original light and offer it on an exchange basis with the next person thats wants one. Quote
Bundus Posted June 18, 2009 Posted June 18, 2009 Honestly guys I found this the easiest mod ive done. Just be really on top of things when you have it in the oven. Put it in for a minutetwo then take it out and try to seperat the lense. Youll find it will part a little bit and the glue will stretch then it will get cold and stop. Put it back in for a minute or two then try again doing a bit at a time. Im sure if you put it in for the full time it would seperate first time but at least this way you dont run the risk of burning anything or melting plastics. Thanks for the guide - worked a treat Quote
R800NER Posted June 18, 2009 Posted June 18, 2009 To be more honest, I don't think I could remove the bumper without breaking something...that's my only concern. The guide is very good, but I know I would balls it up. Quote

Honestly the guide is pretty much spot on, just take your time and you will be fine Could even get a body shop to do it for you - would only take them an hour or so Quote
sonof Posted July 19, 2009 Posted July 19, 2009 Great guide, job was done in 2hrs start to finish with these instructions. Only point I would add is that if your LED fog light doesn't work at first, try installing it the other way round (normal bulbs are not polarity sensitive, but LEDs are!!) Quote

Good tip in the LED bulb there, had the same when I did my LED sidelights. Quote
Danny 350Z Posted July 25, 2009 Posted July 25, 2009 As i'm currently on Euro lighting, I had my Fog already to hand. So, with an afternoon to kill, I took the plunge. Quite an enjoyable little mod TBH After srobrien's mishap, I was checking the light every minute. The silcone works its way free gradually. Quite chuffed with the end result. Quote
Husky Posted July 25, 2009 Posted July 25, 2009 ahhh, it all makes sense now im too much of a chicken to do that looks good. Quote
Danny 350Z Posted July 25, 2009 Posted July 25, 2009 Why did you have to remove the metal reflector? Because with the right lighting, it looks better. See original post Quote
jim Posted July 25, 2009 Posted July 25, 2009 Why did you have to remove the metal reflector? Because with the right lighting, it looks better. See original post OK - understood, now that I have checked the first post. Quote
srobrien Posted July 30, 2009 Posted July 30, 2009 Oh I never said I did mine properly too after I got a replacement from ZMANALEX, here: R Quote

Hi Danny, just a quick question mate, did you just push the 2 bits of the indicator back together or did you put new silicone around the edges ? This i might attempt this weekend. Quote
T2JOU Posted August 6, 2009 Author Posted August 6, 2009 If you heat it up again after pushing it back together the original glue will hold it fine. I used silicone as I wanted to make doubley sure the light wouldn't get moisture in and fog up. Quote
Danny 350Z Posted August 6, 2009 Posted August 6, 2009 Pimm, there was plenty of blue silicone to just re-meld the parts together after. Quote
Pimm Posted August 6, 2009 Posted August 6, 2009 Where did you get the foglight LED from. I am looking on fleabay but so many to choose from, can you recommend ? Thanks Quote

Pimm Posted August 6, 2009 Posted August 6, 2009 I thought it was a normal bulb fitment and not just a push in type like the one you showed me Have a look at my link below. Cheers http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/XENON-REAR-FOG-LE ... 286.c0.m14 Quote
richt Posted September 20, 2009 Posted September 20, 2009 Did this mod this morning. Took about 1.5 hours. Just followed this guide, couldn't have done it without it. Looks much better, I think! Quote
