Did you clean it off the lens....extra butyl in channel then I take it.

I ask cuz mine was a mess baking them....I didn't cook long enough.
I figured that out after I was done.
But after sealing them up and also using black RTV on the exterior rim, I don't get a trace of moisture.

I had little to none that stuck to the lens, most of it must be stuck in the channel still which i will take out the best i can. I am going to seal it with the butyl so i can take them apart if there is a change in plans ever lol

Just another teaser of Brothers headlights! More trimming and paint to go

So brother has a 04+ now?

We need more pics of your bro's new car when you get these done.

Correct he has an 06 gxp that i thought i posted a pic of. He has all the rest but i will have to soon, along with a video that i just made today. Hmmmmm, and still going to be a while for the finished product, but will be plenty of pics after for you all! Have other local friends that may want me to do their headlights but starting with this for now

Glad your bother got smart and got with the latest gen instead of those ugly 97-03 oops did I say that lol

Hahha well we will see what else is to come here soon! And here are the video's. I had to lay my ipad on something because no one else was around to help me and just an idea!


Part 1:




Part 2:

Got Brandon's passive demon eye all done along with his shrouds. Next is to get the hole large enough so the projectors sit back far enough and then finish them up. Happy with how it turned out so far

Here is the matte black shrouds. Front rim looks like poo because i half-assed my attempt to smooth them out and the halo will cover it when they get put together

You need to do some more cutting and get the projector to sit further back that gap is killing it

Definitely need to go further back.

I know you took the easy route and just slightly enlarged the original bulb hole.

I have not done any cutting yet to get it to sit back further, just been placing the projector in for pics. Possibly this weekend i will get a start on enlarging the hole so it will sit back far enough where i can close it with the lens on, then comes the fun JB weld and aiming after i paint the housing!

Here is the cutting that I got done tonight! Painting them soon then time to start mounting and aiming soon!

Painted black night metallic, soon to start mounting and aiming when it gets a little warmer!

No progress with Brandon's headlights because I need it to get warm so I can mount and aim them. In the meantime I have a buddy with an 04 suburban who bought halo led lights (told him not to). Went to install them and couldn't get one halo on plus they were so dim. You can see they just have one hole in the bottom they jam 2 leds into and put hot glue all around it so obviously not the best quality. I put in some color changing halos for him even though they are the smd style, still looks great and like they came that way!
