Doin mine next week. How was it? Stressful? How long did u bake them?

12 minutes at 250 and they came apart easily. Painting with Krylon Fusion couldn't have been easier. I did a full blackout, so I didn't have to worry about masking or color matching. I bought all of my stuff from The Retrofit Source. Their XB Halos are great. The 90mm halos slid right into the projector shroud.

My biggest issues came from shaving the turn signal shroud to accept both the projector lens and 70mm halo and then resealing the lights. It also took much longer than I thought it would. A single halo might not be that time consuming, but dual halos make the job much worse.

In the end, I am happy with the result, but it is not something that I would choose to tackle very often.

thats cool. you guys are brave. not brave taking the lights apart, brave you take your chance to not get caught by wife using the stove for cooking up car bits.

I was caught by the wife. She was like, "and why are you cooking car parts?" My response was, "to melt the glue."

too straight forward, needs more dramatization!!

I was caught by the wife. She violently pushed me out of the way and emphatically exclaimed, "Why are you cooking car parts in my oven?! Don't you know that any chemicals released from the heating process will bake into any other food and give us cancer! Get that headlight out of the oven before I stick your head in there with it!" My response was, "to melt the glue."
