It is a pain in the ass. I would do it but not for under $100.
If anyone wants me to do theirs I charge $100.

Hopefully I can find some time this week to pop off one of the headlamps and check it out. shouldn't be a problem though. i've done it with other headlamps before...shouldn't be any different with these. |

What type of resin will the lenses be made from?
I have lots of experience assembling products made of different types of plastics, I installed the set from WW on my car and will do these for a friend. The most important thing is to make sure you let the epoxy cure. The cure time on packaging is a min. in ideal conditions. Also, since the lens must be formed to fit a curve, install the lens in three steps at the major stress points. Install and let the epoxy cure completely before moving on to the next point. As for lens removal, there is very little risk in warping the fog housing by baking. The lens itself will begin to demold long before the housing is at risk. The sidemarker lens should just be cut out and the lens can by installed in 1 step. |
