DM, if you want, I can meet you in Germantown tomorrow and I can meet Shahid some where in B'more next week so he does not have to drive down here. PLMK

Next Saturday/Sunday, not tomorrow but OK. That works.

That works for me, thanks man! :tup:

that's cool, i'll pm my cell phone friday

yeah, "gas is expensive" and you are very welcome

:icon18:

hey, you didn't hear from me:bowrofl:

Hey, thats my phrase!!:gtfo2::gtfo2::gtfo2:

Did you see it was in quote :icon18::bowrofl: btw, welcome back!!!

I was like... what the hell???

Lmao

haaaa you guys are a mess..

Hey Mark, can I meet you this Sat instead of Sunday??

Actually it's probably going to have to be the weekend after this one because D&V needs the car a little longer than we thought they would since they had to special order the wheel powder I want.

Edit: Also, the guys at Daedalus are on vacation right now and won't be back in town until Fri and I need to work out final pricing/details with them. They have my swap set right now and took some measurements before they left.

Cool, I'm in no rush, I believe Shahid can wait:tup:

Yup I'm not in any hurry. No worries.

What are yall planing now duuude?

Nothing. Just moving the timeline back a bit because the powder job is taking longer than I thought. I won't be able to get with Daedalus until next week some time.

Yeah custom work can do that to ya.

After a good hurricane hitting the area, it would be a perfect opportunity to check your headlights for condensation.

If you leave your car out in a hurricane you are a crazy person.

Anyway, D&V still has the car. Figure Finishing didn't return Kevin's call today so I'm still in car limbo.

Talked to the guys at Daedalus and they have already broken down the salvage lights. The only bad news they have so far is that the black housing on one of the lights is trashed (I already knew that). The clear plastic housings are fine as are the lenses, reflectors and the rest of the innards are fine.

Anyway, they're ready to go as soon as I get the car back. They have my halos in too. Decided to go the single halo route. Apparently, the ones they are using are some new flexible ultrabright gapless halo kit rated for ~35k hours or something. They don't look like BMW lights at all which is what I was trying to avoid.

With a little luck I should have the car back from Sterling tomorrow/thurs and then the headlight project begins.

Edit: Ironically, I could have shipped the wheels to Mike and had them back by now and at this point the price is a wash.

Custom work = flexible times:rolleyes:

Well it looks like one of my headlights may be out. Noticed when I got out of my car this morning that it wasn't working. It was the one that had all the condensation in it. I'm hoping it will work if I can suck all the condensation out of it. Parking light was working fine, just the main headlight bulb was out.

I should have your parts by the end of the week.

Sounds good. :tup:

Dee are you gonna be working on your lights again? Need to find some time/place to work on mine. Maybe I can do it at Bobo's place since we have some other work we need to do to my car.

Damn blades, sorry to hear that

I should have a spare bulb HID bulb or two left over but they're not in the best shape after E/W and I manhandled them trying to figure out how the hell to get the ballasts attached with the bulbs already inserted (*hint: you can't)

Hello guys! Troll is back again.

Try removing the ballast cover and blow dry it out. You'll need a torx bit for that cover. It happened a few times on some guys headlights over at the G forum and he also had condensation. I gave him my advice and it worked for him.

Worth a try before spending more money on a ballast.

I'll see what's up with my light after work today and let you know if I need them. Couldn't hurt to try them out.

Well for now I was thinking of throwing some sort of dessicant pack in there through the parking light hole. Hoping it will absorb the moisture without me having to take the light out.

If you have a leak that wouldn't solve the problem. Over time it'll come right back!

Im still up in the air whether I need to work on mine or not, im perfectly happy with mine, honestly..

Eastwest!

You still want that projector housing?

Its probably NOT the ballast, ballasts are made to be pretty durable, i.e, wet cold hot, if anything, it could be the bulb, you could just buy a new bulb, what you do wanna do is reseal the headlight AFTER you replace the bulb.

hmmmmmm. yes sir, I think I will take it, just to have it.

Yeah, but it should fix it for now though. Gonna reseal it once I get the lens from DM and then fix both of them.

Add to his giant pile o' parts

Thats right buddy...:roflpuke2:

Fixed :roflpuke2:

Exactly..:hello:
