Modding 08 tech headlights

Ok so I didn't have the money to ship my headlights off to 180 in NY so I decided to do it myself. I have done custom headlights to my 05 gsxr and my Acura RSX-S. The only thing making me hesitant with these headlights was the fact that they move. Never really messed with anything like this but hey one way to learn huh.

So I ordered the TSX lens, Porsche panamera shroud, white LED halo ring for the outside, and some RGB LEDS with remote for the inside of the shroud so I could change the color to whatever I fancy that day.

Taking the headlights apart was as easy as any other headlight. Take everything off, remove all the screws and get to the heat. Heat gun that is. I have never been a fan of baking only because I have messed a pair up that way. Heat gun might take a few (30 minutes for me actually) but hey I'm in no rush.

I'll be posting pics as I go. I'm not working on these everyday because I am also repainting the entire car at the moment so when in Rome.

Any question/comments as I go feel free. If this needs to be moved I apologize and move as desired.
