Headlight modification?

Also a word of advice on the LED pods from JWmotoring. The 3M sticky tape on the back of the pods is not sufficient to hold on the map light assemblies. The glue on the stickers melts almost instantly. Went out and bought some loctite "extreme temperature" gel and used a dab on each which seems to be holding so far.

E/W where'd you get yours?

I got mine from walmart out in Laurel, which that walmart has EVERYTHING...its fricken awesome.

Are you sure it's "semi gloss" ? - my 3 choices appear to be glossy, satin, and flat (I'm assuming satin is the correct flavor)

I went with the satin black..

I saw it in person at Walmart, so you can check that out.

Yes it's Satin. I have no idea why EW kept calling it semi gloss

Maybe that's why you refused to listen to me. Couldn't differentiate my trolling from me being serious

EW: Some guy said it was semi gloss black. Blades keeps saying it's satin black, so it's probably not satin black......must be semi gloss black!

I would love to fish through the past 50 something pages of posts to find the person that said semi gloss black, BUT, no thanks... we'll just go with you saying satin black all along.

Well regardless, I'm gonna swing by walmart and pick up 2 oven mitts and paint today. That should be all I need other than food and booze.

eastwest2300 · 09-10-2012, 01:33 PM

I have only one oven mitt...

dmhenderson · 09-10-2012, 01:56 PM

Good we'll have a spare then.
