hey guys in this thread I have pulled my headlights out restored the inner lens an put LED's in them and heres how I did it
ok so this is what mine looked like before hand
**And these are the tools you will need**
- wire cutters
- soldering iron an solder
- Phillips head screwdriver (perferbly a small head)
- big flat head screwdriver
- cut and polish
- windex
- paper towel
- first off start by removing the head light which is 3x10mm nuts 1x at the top and 2x next to the headlight where the grill would sit
- unplug the 3 looms connected to the back of the light and remove from car
- start by turning the oven on 200'c leave a shelf at the bottom and that's it
- then start by unscrewing the "6" Phillips head screws (5x red circle screws can be seen clearly the 1x green screw is hidden under a sponge piece)
- once unscrewed remove all wiring so pull the white seal plug off with the lights (remembering where they come from) also remove the lower wire loom that's connected to the parker (unfortunitly mine had melted so I had to snap mine to remove)
this section you will have to be quick but safe
- first place the headlight on a tray and place in the 200'c oven for 4 mins
- set up a towel on the bench so u don't scratch ur outer lens
- once ur oven goes off after 4 mins with a oven mit or teatowel take headlight out
- place light on towel on bench start by quicker using ur flat head and go around an loosen the tabs around the edge just enough so they hav room to not grab in the pull apart
- then on the bottom corner use the flat head to make a peel in the glue then one hand holding the lens and one hold the case start to pull them apart
- if u happen to snag on the tabs use ur flathead to pry open (you do have about 5 mins before the glue drys up )
- once apart in an 2 pieces
- start unscrewing the 5 screw on the lens
- take the blinker/parker backing piece off first or you will struggle later
- then remove the black eyelid
- this gives u a clean area to start cut an polishing the inner lens
- I also used windex an paper towel to make sure it was clean an streak free
- then once clean you can start on the eyelid LED's
- the LED's I used had double sided tape so it was easy to stick down once stuck I used black tape and tucked the wires around the side
- put the eyelid back into the clean polished lens and again tuck the wires to the side
- put the blinker/parker backing piece on with wires tucked outside again and screw them together
- drill a small hole in the back case for the wires to come through
- push the wires through the hole and start to push the case and lens back together
- place in 200'c oven for 2 mins only
- pull the light out of the oven and push the lens and case together and hold for 2 mins then screw all the backing screws in this will help [pull it together
FROM HERE ITS UR CHOICE, I CHOSE TO WIRE MINE UP TO THE PARKER
- with the parker loom cut in half u will hav 1x green(positive) & 1x black(negative)
- strip the loom wires and led wires and splice together
from here its easy just put all the lights back in and bolt back into the car with looms connected and turn car on and test
here is my final product
well I hope u all enjoy my DIY write up
an let me no wat u think and if u hav attempted my DIY
****MBOOMA****
