Very Nice mrklaw

 

Does this involve putting the front lights in the oven or is there an easier way to do this now?
Looks very nice by the way.

 

You could use a heat gun ,but putting the lights in the oven is the best way

 

Piccies now clicky







Glad you are happy with the end results mate

Danny the oven is the best way to do it as it gives even heat dissipation

 

massive improvement

 

Paul

Did you get the Private Message i sent you??

 

I oven'd mine on saturday- no problem as long as you keep the heat down (and don't let the wife catch you or it'll be men in white coats....)

 

oops Jasoon
was that about the applicator pad & towel ??

Sorry mate
Paul

 

so how exactly do you detango it then?

 

You got it Paul LOL

 

basically take the lights out of the car
strip them down remove everything including the small screws
put them in the oven to melt the sealant holding the two parts together
prise them apart
remove the orange wedge
reheat them to melt the the sealant again then put them together
add extra sealant as required
screw two halfs back together add all the ancilliaries then put them back in the car

SIMPLE

 

just watch you dont put the oven on to high eh!

 

I found the temp for chicken and beef, but the missus dont know anything about impreza headlights!

this looks v nice, gotta try that one - what sort of temp should the oven be and for how long? (sounds like a chick question!) do you need orange bulbs? (or are they orange already?)

cheers

 

about 50 degrees for four minutes or so.

 

look a lot better

 

anyone got some similar angles from a pretangoed black WRX? Be nice to get some contrast. I don't actually have any decent pics unfortunately(great thing, hindsight)

 

i might just have

 

Feel free to post pics if they are of my car (please remove reg no. tho.)

If you got big versions would you be kind enough to mail them? I'd like to have a record of my ongoing mods.
