Have a look at mine in my profile, it's had he mod done and looks very good especially with a 4300k hid kit

Yeah, I am definitely doing the de-tango (got the replacement bulbs already), just trying to decide whether to do the black mod at the same time.

Harry, thanks, but the pics in your profile are from a distance and not from the front, so it is still difficult to tell for sure.

I have :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

Removed all the bolts, top two holding the light in place and the one holding the light against the slam panel which is accessed through moving the grill. I have removed the fog cover and can't locate any clips bar 1. I have pulled on the light with plenty of grunt but its fixed solid. I know its "easy" to do but it aint working for me people....:mad: :mad: :mad: feel like a retard :freak3:

p.s.

no offence to retards :lol1:

Do it, do it, do it! You won't be disappointed. I did mine in two stages. First I got rid of the mingin ginger bits and put the lights back together, for a few weeks I liked the new look but then started to think there was far too much silver/chrome there. I took the lights apart again (pain in the ass) and did them black, have never looked back since. It makes the front end look that bit more aggressive.

lol, copied wrong pic off photo bucket. you must have clocked it before i had chance to edit.
:lol1:

Any instructions for doing this to a hawkeye?

I finally got around to De-Tango'ing the front and rear lights and doing the Black Light Mod on the fronts.

It was a bit of a ******* to get the front lamps out and in the end quite a lot of force was required. The 05's dont seem to have the two clips described in the instructions either, so this confused me for a while. Lamps in a 80 dec C fan assist oven for about 8 mins. Also there are 9 screws holding the headlight unit together (one under a piece of foam tape).

The fronts look much more agressive and the rears much smarter.

Sorry for the crappy pics, just couldn't get rid of the reflections.

that is one very shiny car :)

have you done it yet buddy
boobiman search iwsti.com they have great how to s on there

I removed the 2 bolts on the black plastic air ducting going to the air box but could not get it out. Do i need to be more rough and pull it?

the two phillips head screws, are they screwed into a white piece? I can see the head of one screw but cannot find the other one???????

Help please

there is a 10mm bolt behind the grill that needs to be removed for each headlight...two bolts on the top...then pull to release

I wonder if a dealer would consider doing this, I haven't got the bollocks to try n would probably fook it up if I did.

not a chance.........£100 m8 and i`ll do them for ya

You're in Ireland though :lol1:

i'm going to do mine soon on the blobeye. But im not doing them black :D

It will be matched to the badgeless grill im in the middle of doing, need to find a decentpaint, im thinking pewter grey as i did the interior stereo surrounds in that andlooks pretty nice :D

indeed i am...cost £15 postage and you would have them back in 2days...

Thx for the offer mate, but it's a daily driver so would need be completed at weekend or in an evening.

not a problem...good luck with the mod:thumb:

A specialist probably would. Scoobybits did mine for £40 a couple of years ago when they were still in Sheffield.

I was a bit nervous when I did it the first time. Done it twice now, you just need to be methodical, take your time and don't rush the job and it'll turn out sweet.

Or the other option is to do it on the computer, you're pretty good with photoshop! :lol1:

:mad: firstly I'm crap at painting in real life or with a spray can, I always seem to feck it up :( And second I don't know what I would be doing getting the lights out.

I have finished the passenger side, just waiting for it to stop raining so i can put it back in, first time spraying anything for me but that really was the easy part. I hope putting it back isn't too difficult

Is that all as i managed to remove top 2 bolts and one near grill, Then realised top clip in wing im told there is 2, is it then a case of pulkling it out?

There are a couple of clips at the bottom of the headlight one of which you can see when you remove the fog light cover, but dont worry about them. Once all the cables around the back are disconnected give the headlight a pull towards you and it should come out.
