Today I decided to detango my 04 WRX, everything went fine as I followed the instructions and removed my lights etc, removed all the screws from the back of the lights and put them in the oven, left them in there for 10mins and melted all the back of the lights and front casing(DOH), all my own fault really, I should of checked properly. So anybody out there who has a drivers side front light for sale for a 04 WRX let me know, also if anybody has a set of detangoed lights all ready done for sale then PM me please.

 

Just buy a set of JDM ones, they come without the orange bit, instead they have an orange bulb.

Never heard anything about this! what was you trying to do??

 

I take it you had the temperature a tad too high then???

I hope you get it sorted out soon.

 

Removing the orange wedges inside the headlight unit....



100 deg for 10 minutes usually does the job, no damage. To melt the light he must have had it way higher.

 

So you now have a REAL blobeye now

Forgot to ask..
How damaged are the backs? I'm after the headlamp bulb cover plus the double connectors next to it.
Are they furbar'd or useable?

Nick

 

Please excuse my ignorance..I do not understand what this is about at all.

I have an O2 WRX..is this something that is on my car?

Before:



After:



The favoured method for removing the orange wedge is to heat the light in an oven to melt the sealant around the light to enable it to be prised apart...although it seems the oven may of been a tad high in this guys case and resulted in a melted headlight!

Hope that helps!

 

Thanks..I now understand...

I would be so worried to put a headlamp into an oven...who the hell found out this worked in the first place..brave man!!

Russ.

 

not heard of bakerlight before?

 

That was weak

The effect is amazing....people at work keep asking what i've done to the front of the car...some work out it's the lights but still don't know exactly what it is....but all agree somehow it looks so much better.

 

If the correct heat settings are used for the correct period of time there will be no problems !

What you did to the front WRXPETE

 

I must thank the man that did it for me, eh Paul

Since when were you an active supporter of the enemy

I really want to do this to my MY05.
