Ryan@CiNcity · 05-30-2009, 09:35 PM

lol no not yet. hopefully in the near future.

its kinda funny. only our shop car has mods because we dont have time to mess with our own stuff.

but we have plans in the works for a E30 BMW style light with some sweet BI-Xenon projos~!

so anybody going to bless this site with a DIY guide for teh brave souls that want to tackle this on by themselves??

at least give teh DIY instruction(baking temp and duration) on how to open them up and seal them properly and the person themselves can paint whatever they want once they get inside or wire up what they wish..........that would be nice......

Nice. I like em. When I get the 370 I will have to contact you.

Have you ever attempted this? I ask this as it is not for the faint. You will need window tools, such as nylon sticks, and cleaners to help remove the old sealant. Then you need the proper new sealant. It can all be done, but our headlight is a large unit, and not one to be experimenting on. If you have a high mechanical aptitude, then you can achieve just about all these mods, but I dissuade the first-timers, and those who aren't mechanically oriented.

experiment it if you can find a scrapped Z......

I've done about a dozen headlights, all RSX's. Zero moisture in all of them.

Did it for extra cash during my college days

I know how, I just want confimred temps and times in order to do mine when I get my 370.

thanks.

Thanks, very cool DIY!

You're right, something like this for the Z would be just awesome!

Lou when I get back to California, I gotta have this done!

I just want my housing painted w/out the LEDs which should be a lot easier.

DannyGT, hope you don't mind but I'm using your awesome headlights as an example:

DannyGT's Journal/Progress

Lou, please PM me pricing on that!
