i was thinking about removing the orange peace in the headlight.. did anyone remover their? can someone show me how to remove it..

 

1. bake the headlight in the oven for about 10 minutes at 200~250 degrees.
2. pry oven the front lens cover slowly making sure you don't crack the front lens cover.
3. pop the orange reflector out.
4. clean the grooves and get rid of original sealant. you won't be able to clean off all so just clean off any excess or messy part only.
5. apply fresh high temp sealant from local auto parts store in the groove and put together the front lens cover.
6. I like to throw them in the oven again for few minutes to soften up the sealant. once out of the oven find something to keep the headlight housing and lens cover clamped overnight.

 

in order to remove it you have to take apart the headlight (ie remove the lense). I believe Al (beez43) did this when he blacked out his lights. Another alternative is to just use some type of vinyl to cover it.

heres an example


heres Al (beez43) headlight


also another member wikidbwoy did his

 

once you do it, might as well change the lenses to TSX-R lens for better flicker and shaper cut off line.

 

ok .. i think i got it... thanks skim07 and everone. if i messup im coming over ur house and skim07 and borrow ur headlight..

 

Man I want to see this in person if your going to swap out the lens. You will see more headlight mods in the 2gen GS section that will virtually be the same process and more pictures.

I wonder how much better the light would be with a TSX projector. I think one of the main issues is how our HID bulbs are inserted sideways instead of straight forward.

 

i dont know about all that work on it..i just want the orange gone..

 

good idea. if you aren't going to change the front lens as least clean up the current lens. my projectors look like its coated with grime.

 

do like this.....hope this help, is alot of work.....

 

it would be nice if you could custom cut a clear lens reflector, like the stuff on bicycle wheels.

 

Those shaded lenses do the same thing for your visibility as wearing sunglasses at night. I bet they are paired up with a tinted windshield.

Some people care more about looks than having a safe and functional vehicle.

 

lol, like the ultra cool guys with shades on at the club. some things i will never understand.

 

is that a projector in the highbeam?

 

YES I have halos for DRL
sumthing different to look at,
