First off, thanks to Alan aka O5_TRD_tC of the LED_headz for getting me my TBL DIY kit so quickly and putting up with me bailing out on the TBL exchange program. Sorry again bro. (the wife controls the wallet. lol.)

Second, I think I might have found an easier way to do some of the DIY part.

1) I used a sharp matte knife (box cutter) rather than my dremmel. I scored the seam once or twice then put a fair amound of pressure on the third and fourth score. Repeated for the top, bottom and sides until the seam split. The whole thing came apart effortlessly and the seam lined up perfectly for reassembly.
- My reasoning was that the dremmel with a high speed cut off wheel leaves a messy cut in plastic and removes a fair amount of material in its wake making alignment upon reassembly questionable.
* note: I did use my dremmel for the cuts in the back for the LED arrays.

2) I used JB Kwik Weld which stays pliable for about 2 minutes after mixing, sets in just 4 minutes, and cures fully in 4 hours. It's waterproof, petroleum, chemical, and acid resistent, resists shock, vibration, and extreme temperature fluctuations, and withstands temperatures up to 300° F. With it I managed to get this project complete in a few hours and have my car w/ TBL for the drive home from my friends house where we did the work.
- My reasoning was that there's no need to wait 24hrs for full strength JB weld to dry. Regular JB Weld is stronger but theres no need for it in this application, JB Kwik is more than strong enough.

Properties in psi (JB Kwik / JB Weld)
Tensile Strength: 2100 / 3960
Adhesion: 1800 / 1800
Flex Strength: 7320 / 7320
Tensile Lap Shear: 1040 / 1040
Shrinkage: 0.0% / 0.0%
Resistant to: 300° F / 500° F

...and now for the pics!
It looks great and is way WAY brighter! The light is perfectly even and looks totally oem.
I will take more pics in better light asap.

I think i am going to do this, but in a different way. Im going to keep the center lights, and add the left and right lights. But im going to wire them to my directionals, so the left side of the bar will flash with the left blinker, and the same way as the right blinker. I think it would look good.

 

very nice

 

awesome looks perfect! JB Quick is so thick! haha :D

good work!

 

looks sweet man, good job

 

^ Thanks!


I thought just the opposite ... Kwik was thinner, a little smoother and more liquid than regular JB Weld. Went on like butta.
...I'm more familiar with PC-7 and Permagile-10 (PG-2130) tho.

Thanks again!

 

kits still available pm me for details!

 

looks good man i wana do that soon

props on good work

 

cool let me know when your ready :D
