Hey DM, your lights look good too, the pictures dont do them justice. Its hard to see the detail in them pictures.

Yeah would need indirect light to get a goot shot of it like an overcast day or sunset or something. Problem is that any sort of direct light makes the car shine and then you can't see past the housings.

Holy crap! So sorry to see this!

May I ask how did you open up the housing like which method? Heat gun with a home made box or oven

Oven was what did the damage. We had a heat gun but it took 5x as long to crack a single light

fack! that looks pretty damn bad! sorry man!

what degree did you run the oven and is there any heating rods on top of the oven?

250 degrees for 11 minutes iirc. No idea on the heating rods.

I have a minor blemish but nothing compared to the hit blades took. I'll either replace the housing on the passenger light or have a body shop refinish it if possible. Going to start making some calls tomorrow.

I think I'm passed the point where this kind of stuff bothers me with my car. Can't change the fact that it happened so why stress over it. The car still looks amazing, just a little bit more on one side than the other :p

I'm willing to let that one light tip slide but not the heat blemish. Gotta go one way or another or it'll drive me insane.

did you guys do lense down with no foil or something? how did the lens melt this time and not last time?


I've always done lens down..

Looks great dear sore Patriot fan :tup:

Lenses down, tinfoil on pain. No different from last time.

yeah that's weird

oh well :( can't go back now I guess

Looks like my sealing job was better this time around. No condensation today/yesterday so there's that.

I'm going to call around to a few body shops today and get quotes on buffing out the melted part and call it a day.

BTW I used loctite silicone sealant on the lights after the butyl dried to fill in whatever visible cracks there were and it worked like a charm.
