my retrofit light build

[adrian94]

alright been asked to show a few pic of my lights i made, i used morimoto d2s projectors with apollo 3.0 shrouds painted to match bottom trim color on the truck. i have morimoto switchback led halos behind the projectors. up top is two 6" led single row led bars. also have morimoto switchback strips between top and bottom bowl and ontop of side reflector. housing is painted UH tuxedo black to match truck. heres a few pics, always have such a glare from the sun in all my pics! last pic is halfway during the build to show the yellow leds which are used for signals.

how did you separate the lenses from the housing? I need to take mine apart and clean some chit out of them, but don't want to damage anything while doing it as I don't have a spare set.

put them in the oven around 200-220 degrees.. for about 10 mins, that will soften the seal, then work your way around the edge with a flat-head screwdriver/pry tool.. might take some more time in the oven every light ive done is different.

Thank you for the input, I appreciate it.

Do not touch the inside of the lens!!!! Hell, dont even look at it wrong. It will scratch in a heartbeat. Compressed air is about it and hopefully whatever is in there does not drag across the surface and create a scratch.

GL!

Nice retro btw!!

Thanks for the info. The chit thats in there is from drilling holes for wig wags. Iwill use compressed air only now.

if your doing this on 6.0 style lights they come apart real easy since ford used different sealant back then... alot easier to take apart then the 6.7 lights! heres a set of light i did for an Amarillo edition truck

That looks food man. I am doing it on a set of eagle eyes 6.0 lights. Just use ckear silicone when going back together?

What does a set of lights like you have pictured for a 6.7 run price wise

depends how much factory sealant is still there when you open them, sometimes it stays intact pretty good, other times gotta chip and tear the seal... when i gota put new sealant i use butyl rubber, available at most auto stores, also called butyl windscreen sealant... heats up in the oven, and seals the lights up nicely.

oooo well to actually do a set takes time and parts for custom stuff like that arent cheap... i usually just do lights for people locally because id rather deal in cash and not have to worry about shipping and stuff... but for the parts alone it cost me about a $1000 to do them

So after i put the butyl on i put it back in the oven for a few minutes to reseal? Tahnks for all yourhelp man. I typically dont do make pretty stuff, but these have been driving me nuts for a while

 

[adrian94]

yeah put the butyl in the channel where the lense sits, push the lense back on and put in oven... then squish the lense back on till its seated nicely!
