O. M. G.

I need to get some brass ***** by the time summer rolls around so I can do this to my IP...

(btw, UNV, ignore my pm... didn't read this thread first)

 

What??? they aren't microwavable??? Dang, can't cook that..lol I'll be going the Vinyl cover route. Awesome mode though, looks great.

 

As i said... Ballz! It took me a long time to put my beloved maxima Headlights in the oven... but once you do it... its easy after that... I ended up baking mine about 5 times. Painting, angels eyes x2, and clearing the amber. I would do this in a heart beat if ya didnt have to remove the Bumper...


Ill tell you one thing... I AM NVing you x100 right now lol

 

Yes I am giving very detailed instructions in my DYI right up with every step. I already have the DYI started on the board. I guided you to the point of removing the bumper. I will finish the rest tomorrow. retract the lights?

 

lol no sorry cant nuke em. Even if you could you would need a big *** microwave. As it is the lights may not fit in many people's ovens. It barely fit in mine and i have an oversized oven

 

The bumper really is not that hard to remove. If you look in the DYI section i already have that write up done

 

like, how are we going to put the headlights back together. what glue and stuff.

 

You heat them back up and it seals, If it doesnt... a lil silicone or some type of sealent will work... but they usually seal.

 

oh ok. im still afraid something is going to happen if i put my headlights in an oven...

 

I would never and have never relied on just the oem sealant afterwards. Every headlight I have ever seen use just the oem stuff and has never sealed and leaked very bad. I personally use black silicon adhesive sealant and reseal the entire headlight.

 

On my maxima headlights... It worked the first 3 times... the last 2 had to be resealed with something else.

 

i cant say anything about a maxima. I dont claim to know every headlight but I have done Range Rovers, S2000's, TSX's, TL's, G35's G37's and many more and everyone has had the same end result. If i did not use more sealant after wards they leaked. So i ALWAYS use it now. Its not going to hurt adding more so why not be safe and save yourself the trouble of having to remove them again and reseal

 

Very very nice. Love the combo on IP. I was afraid it would blend too much without any contrast. Looks to be the perfect combo.

 

I think something that helped me was putting those heavy duty cloths pins type thing halfway through that over cycle and they sealed very well. Maybe I was lucky...

 

I went ahead and ordered all my new bulbs today.

First i got the piaa Plasma Ion's for the fogs so i can have the yellow jdm look next to the HID. personally i love this look like the JDM itegra type R's
