Also, to give the meet-up some flair does something along the lines of "1st Annual Mid-Atlantic Tech Daze" sound a little better?

hahah might have to start asking for sponsors and models. charge an admission fee

edited list to reflect those tools

LOL was just throwing it out there. This reminds me of tech daze we used to do in Vegas with our motorcycles. We'd get some seasoned mechanics along with novices and teach hands on maintenance on their own rides and instill confidence. It's surprises me that there are still people that can't change their own oil and it could be due to lack of a mentor.

This gathering has the potential to become a standing traditon.

i agree with this whole statement. I always believed that being half the fun in being a car enthusiast was actually getting your hands dirty! these install meets are always fun but what i've noticed in the last few years is that these install meets = 2-3 people working on the cars, the other 10+ people sit on their butts, eat, drink lol

One of the reasons I don't do the hand's on portion (at an install meet) is no one learns by letting someone else do it.

The other aspect is, it's your ride I'm not breaking your shyt

btw Khoi you've done this before. Would it be be a good idea to have isopropyl alchohol, preferable in a spray bottle, with some cheese cloth/rags so the inside of the lenses are clean right before spraying them? Newspaper to lay the lights on?

I can answer this for Khoi, YES!! Alcohol removes fingerprints, grease and dirt.. I have some, but not a lot.

Good job fellas getting everything organized! I do have the tools to do this install but not 8 sets of tools, soo everyone should bring the following:

A butter knife (to pry the head lights open)
Rubbing Alcohol
Flat head screw driver
10mm socket and ratchet

We will need painters tape, I'd say 2 to 3 rolls of it, and newspaper to cover parts and pieces so theres no overspray.

A heat gun, someone PLEASE bring a Heat gun!!!

the lens itself if you happen to get finger prints on it (oil) while maybe masking some of it off, or whatever it might be, you can clean it with windex, that's what we did. More or less you want to get the oils from your fingerprint off, your lens should already be clean.

maybe everyone wear rubber gloves?? lol fingerprint issue solved
