main mods
jdm zc swap
new radiator (stock)
new exhaust (stock) w/ chrome tips

  • bmotorsbmotors New Wagonist

    How hard was it to pull apart those lights? I've been thinking of spraying the highs on my OEM's but don't want to mess with cutting the seal if its a PITA ya know... If thats how you even do it, I imagine after removing the metal clips around the glass you just razorknife around until the glass comes off.

    i used a heat gun to soften it all the wway around and then just pulled them off but oem ones might take lil bit longer cuz my aftermarket ones use cheap glue...my buddy did his oem ones and swapped out the lenses to ones like mine...i think he said he put them in the oven for like 10 15 min ....just make sure you taake off any rubber or softer plastic before doing that...

    What I meant is, are they glass lenses? I know some aftermarket projectors use plastic lenses that seem to be very cheap.

    I'm running 3K bulbs for the high beams.. pure sexxy yellow! They give the headlight a yellow glow during the day, then at night they are awesome!

    Thats a sick wagon yo! I use the oven trick to take apart my lights. Never though to use a heat gun. Are you going to shim the back to get the camber back to stock?

  • BIOHAZARDBIOHAZARD Wagonist
    those headlights look sick dude. i have been debating on getting aftermarket projectors cause of bad previous experiences with them involving them always falling off of the adjuster mount, three sets later... done right they look awesome.
    so where in CT are you?
