[quote][i]Originally posted by Avix87[/i] Decided to tackle this as abit of a diy job and see what happened, Step 1 : Buy lights [img]http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/liladdy/DSCF2704Medium.jpg[/img] Step 2 : Remove all electrics and add very hot water into a bucket containing the light ( i did so gradually, so not to break the glass) [img]http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/liladdy/DSCF2706Medium.jpg[/img] Step 3 : Now that the glue has softened, remove clips and pry apart with a knife/screwdriver, should get something like this [img]http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/liladdy/DSCF2707Medium.jpg[/img] Step 4 : Prep the chrome part of the light for paint [img]http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/liladdy/DSCF2755Medium.jpg[/img] Step 5 : Painted ( i used satin black) [img]http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/liladdy/DSCF2762Medium.jpg[/img] [img]http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/liladdy/DSCF2763Medium.jpg[/img] [img]http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/liladdy/DSCF2765Medium.jpg[/img] Step 6 : Heat up the glue again (it was a hot day so i just left it in the sun, otherwise use a heat gun/hairdryer) and put the lights back together (standard light next to my smoked one) [img]http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/liladdy/DSCF2770Medium.jpg[/img] [img]http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/liladdy/DSCF2771Medium.jpg[/img] Step 7 : Remove old lights [img]http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/liladdy/DSCF2773Medium.jpg[/img] Step 8 : Fit new ones [img]http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/liladdy/DSCF2776Medium.jpg[/img] [img]http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/liladdy/DSCF2778Medium.jpg[/img] [img]http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/liladdy/DSCF2777Medium.jpg[/img] That was my day Some people might see it as a 'step backwards' styling wise with me taking the angels off, but im aiming more towards the OEM look Thanks for looking :wave: [/quote]
