Trav33 Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 where is that place?please PM me the details of them thank you! cheers I'd like to know this too. I cant imagine it'd be cheap! Those things are made using moulds, i dont think it'd be easy to just take your old lens in, and get them to "knock up a new one" !

Mr Eps Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 oh my god sorry i've just read the entire thread you guys are retards like unbelievable!!!! ok, the reason your lights look like ass on the inside is cos of corrosion from the elements, it happens, drilling a hole in your light will allow more water vapour into your lights thus making the matters worse as condensation builds, not to mention cause your headlight globes to blow due to condensation / oil residue on in your headlight unit... so please, silicon seal this back up and admit you stuffed up. cut your losses, and start again with a wiser idea... you must now take the headlight apart, all you need is 80degree heat and 8 minutes max, check it, you should be able to wedge the tip of a butterknife in to get you started... if it's still not budging, put it back and check, use the buter knife to get you started then gently GENTLY GENTLY pry the unit apart with your big manly hands. if your oven won't fit it then use a hairdryer / heatgun, once you've got it apart, polish it all up with a plastics polish, make sure you do this by hand otherwise you will melt the delicate nature of the plastic. once it's clean on both sides, reseal the unit all back together by DELICATELY using a silicone sealant or sikaflex... don't stuff this up, if you're worried you're going to stuff it up then don't do it... MAKE SURE THE UNIT IS 100% sealed before it goes back, and remember, as with all glue and sealant, LESS IS MORE DON'T OVER DO THIS.
