[woodsy]

hi all jsut got a querie i wanna know how to remove them orange indicator surroundings in my frony lights

wat do i need to do or do i have to buy clear replacements for them....

any help would be appreciated!!!

[Rob]

u need to split the lights apart to do that, ask pete ( scorpion) he has done quite a few in the past

[Monster-Mat]

and i was the First.......................... :D ...and still no sign of them leaking

[woodsy]

wkd so wat do i do to go about splittin the lights

think they could do with resealing any way cuz one keeps misting up??

do i just pull the orange bit out??

and wat about the dde's do them at the same time??

any one local to herne bay kent who can give us a hand doing them??

would be appreciated!!!

[Monster-Mat]

here you go..........there are other ways, but this was my way.

HAVE A GANDERS HERE........MUKKA

I would fit the DDE just before reassembly, ensuring though any holes that needed drilling were done before the housing was re-painted

mine look crap, i get condensation in one of them every now and again, wish I hadnt done it really but i'm gonna buy some new ones soon and maybe someone with more patience than me could do them!

plus, I want to get rid of the eyebrows!

[Monster-Mat]

you could always buy mine of me..........

[Colin P]

buy your what? headlights? if so how much? got a few quotes from the scrap yards which were reasonable, I was wondering how hard it would be to fit and wire the is300 lights like zee did?

[woodsy]

[Monster-Mat]

i was talking to CP409135, unless your car is white Woodsy

as far as i heard they were a nightmare to fit, even with the help of a lexus mechanic, they certainly arnt a straight swap

[Monster-Mat]

the wings are different........so that is what needs modifying , for a start

Put my ones in the Oven for a few mins then pulled apart with some oven gloves. Mucked up one side a little. but the 2nd one's perfect.. Been thinking of getting another pair and spraying the inside black.

Also sprayed the indicator bulbs Orange with heat resistant paint.

[woodsy]

i already got the silver indicator bulbs that shine orange i got a cheap deal ona bulk load for the lex.

so jsut need to get some lights that are already done or have a go at mine. wats this u spray the inide of the light??

does this not make them work so well..

i will try the oven being a kitchen fitter it will be a good test on a customers new oven to stick my lights in for a few minutes!!!!

Eh?........whats the point of going to all that work and spraying the bulbs,just buy some silver tech ones and you'll have a clear front end.

I cheated when i changed mine, bought the inserts and units from Fargo, as the inserts were painted in the same colour as the car, Royal Sapphire, but then had to split my units open to put the inserts in them, as the new units didn't have the auto adjust feature on, and i like that!!

Thinking about changing them for a set of standard ones again though, quite liked them as standard, and am getting bored of them like they are!!

Woodsy, if you're looking for someone local to Herne Bay to help out with doing the lights, I'm in Whitstable & would be willing to help you out.

Was thinking about doing this mod myself, just got some elids instead, much easier.

I must add I have no experiance in doing this!!!

PM me if you want any help. :winky:

Cheers.

I got to get the brakes done, just need front pads, getting them after xmas, then I want to go lower, some subtle body mods, & see where I end up, just after enhancing an already great looking car really.
