thanks. i only hope for the best. so you know about how long it takes to do it all.

 

Did you read any of the post?

 

double post

 

I don't really care about the time I'll spend in doing this. I just want mine done slowly without braking anything. Just take your time...

 

xIxAMxHOLLYWOODx, could you get some dusk/night shots? Thanks!

 

looking to do this when i find a spare set of lights to mod up. wanna do this and spray tint the amber reflector and maybe figure a way to color match the chrome eyebrow area to see what that looks like under the lens cause i dont like the way vinyl overlays look...
i wanna wire mine to a separet switch or piggyback the parking light wires though cause i like the parking light and wanna keep it.

 

good job on the write up dude!

 

Great job. That's an excellent detailed write-up, xIxAMxHOLLYWOODx! I also drilled into my housing to run the wires through. It's much cleaner that way but I have to admit I was pretty scared during the drilling process!

I'll have to agree with davedavetC on applying extra silicone to the power inverter (especially if you are attaching it beneath the high beams), all connectors, and an extra bead around the entire housing. I have the Umnitza ones and thought everything was good to go until I found out otherwise the first time it rained. Luckily I disconnected them quickly and it didn't short out the inverters. I just let them dry out, siliconed everything and moved the inverters to a safer location. No problems or condensation now for the past year (knock on wood).

 

i'll add a note to add extra silicone around the ballast box and on any exposed connections for safety. But the way I see it, the ballast under the headlight wont have a very good chance of getting wet. Unless you've removed your inner fender wells... the whole thing is pretty safe from getting wet. but I guess extra silicone couldnt hurt.

as for around the housing itself, the headlight has more than enough sealant around the edges, and its not going anywhere. (unless you removed it for some unknown reason) I havent had any problems with condensation and we've gone through a wide range of weather patters here in So Cal this week. 100+ temps during the day, 60 and below at night, rain/fog in the morning, etc... and no condensation in the headlight...

 

Just in case the factory sealant went to the clear glass housing, what can I use to wipe it away?

 

dude GREAT write up!

 

Try to get it off while its warm is my best bet, after you've pulled the two halves apart go over them real quick and make sure nothings got on the lens. (There some overlap with the back half so there's a little room for error here) another idea is maybe wait til the sealant is cool to pull the black cover off the lens. This will help keep sealant off of the eyebrow as well...

 

i finish my lights today when i can put my bumper back on i will post some pics up.

 

And while your at it, add clear corners!!!

 

Looks awesome!

 

Thank you sir!

 

those clear look. nice that is what i did to mine. i will have to put some pics up so that everyone can see them

 

Updated wiring diagram and night pics coming in 2 hours (once its dark here in so cal)

 

All Predator ThinLine halos with harness are $50 off.

Use code "scioneyes" <-- reuse it if the redeem code doesn't work.

 

So correct me if I'm wrong , but you put silicone around both halves when putting them back together, put it in the oven for 15 minutes and then sandwiched the 2 halves together?
