projector removed

Damn dude, its an entire piece, fuuuuuuck.

weiboy718 · 10-11-2012, 09:35 PM

It's not too bad as long as you have the part.

eastwest2300 · 10-11-2012, 09:37 PM

So im guessing to get this piece out, I will have to completely disassemble the headlight, no way around it.

weiboy718 · 10-11-2012, 09:42 PM

yes unfortunately! after disassemble you'll need to unscrew both adjustment bolt and a clip to remove the projector. shouldn't be hard though.

Well if you want to do it the super safe but annoying way, get a heat gun (or borrow mine). Takes forever but you won't melt your headlight.

thats the way, slow and patient way to open up a head light. so you dont burn any of the plastics.

Although I will never recommend anybody using heat gun to open headlight housing but whatever works for you guys! Just because the oven method always works for me doesn't mean it'll work for others.

Its the much much faster way of doing it, but this time around, Im gonna take as many safety precautions as possible, thats even if I actually go through with it..
