Use: photobucket.com

Mandy

This mod, if it looks good, could be the option versus the Inspires!

It's the lens for diffusing office fluorescents. That's what everyone used back in the day when clear corners didn't exist. Halos can also be made using the clear plastic window blinds adjusting rod.

TLin401

Tail lights look killer!!!!!!! What did you use again? I might just do this tomorrow.

Pete_tl

go to lowes and use the plastic covering for ceiling lights like you'll see in stores and be careful they are very fargile takes time and patience

TLin401

Ok cool. Thanks

^^ That's what I said!

Anyhow, your passenger headlight looks like it's about to fall out... And I think new wheels are in order.

~Cheers~

Mandy

Tie wrap and duct tape....classic tools.

NICE! i gotta do this
How do u get the tail lights open tho?

TLin401

You have to bake them in the open just like you would your headlights.

stas2007

OFF TO Home Depo i had bad experience with baking ovens though...anyone knows how long to keep the tails and what temp?

TLin401

I do it 200 for 20 minutes but that is to only get the glue really really soft. You can do it probably at 300 for 7 minutes.

Pete_tl

new wheels in order??? bro those are some nice chrome rims idk what your talking about i guess people have different taste all good though but i baked the tails at 350 for 2 min then took them out ran a flat head around the whole thing to loosen up the glue then in the oven for another 2 min and start extremly easy pulling them apart repeat the steps until you can pull the top off

tmnhs81

20 mins at 200 degrees is too much for taillights IMO.

TLin401

Yea I think it is too. That is what I do for headlights for tails I would do it for 7 minutes max.
