I would be interested if u can sort out a price for a kit and postage

well done mate!

[d6dph]

im up for a kit. what sort of money? and can an idiot do it???

[benno]

hehe now i have too contact my friend johono,he can translate for me a little bit better,but if you have some headlights old ones try too separate them first because it can be diffycult.
im warming the metal/glass up with a heating pistol and use a stanley knife too cut the kit betwen glass/metal and the one with plastic im just cut with a dremel

[johnono]

Hello Mate ;)

Mighty impressive are the lights, ive seen a few of the units and theyԚ´re well made.

colourwise, i think there is the blue, white, yellow(quite light yellow though) and red.

Separating the glass is easy.. i have a recipie here.




Start by asking a grownup to help u , you will need

Your lights, an oven and a butter knife

U need to separate the Upper section from the lower, simply 3 longish screws (hella unit) and separate.

Place item in A COLD OVEN!!! oven at turn on to 125 degrees Celcius,

Allow to warm for 30mins, it wont get Very hot, just a gentle roasting


After warming, switch off oven and with the unit Still in the oven, wrap as best as possible all exposed areas of the unit with a dry towl (any damp or sudden cold will cause the glass to fracture.. not good)

when wrapped and still resting in the oven, take the round tipped knife, and "press-peel" the edge of the plastic around the lense edge.

You should be able to locate the seal easily,. use the knife to separate the glass from the plastic with a light "edging" motion. DO NOT TRY TO REMOVE IT ALL FROM ONE SIDE ONLY : IT WILL CRACK .

after a few rotations, the glass should separate sufficiantly to allow an edge to prise up and peel the glass off.

Once removed, leave in the oven to cool. if u remove it the temp difference may crack it.

feel like im at work

Benno!, Det ser fjong! Og sÃÂ¥ kan du mÃÂ¥ske tjene lidt fra de here ogsÃÂ¥? ;)

Jeg tager kun 5 %
Hilsen! og jeg fik et glass fra Fæhunden! den here i billede, delt op nemt nok, og brugt ikke stanlyen, kun almendlig smør kniv ;P

men lygte delen skal holdes i ovnen til det køles helt fuldstendig af, ellers so rive den

Op med de Danske!! ;)

[benno]

okay guys
shipping 1kg is 17 pound
shipping 6kg is 22 pound
up too 1 kg for the katodes
up too 6 kg for the crystalheadlight

[Danstable]

Those are the most impressive angel eyes I've seen, top marks to you.......and no offence meant to everyone else that has done it.

[smithy318i]

I don't mean to piss on your fire mate, but anything other than white isn't UK road legal.

With you being in Denmark it's probably okay, but the guys in the UK will get pulled by PC Prick and/or fail an MOT test.

[johnono]

aha, didnt think of that.. but his are independantly controlled, so they arnt pemanently on with the normal running lights if u dont want them to be


(also means u can run the angels alone)

[benno]

here in denmark it is also not legal but as johono says i can turn it on and off when i like,and the katodes you can get in white,green,blue and red

[Hyperion]

Those look very cool man, well done. looks very cool

[jimmybmw]

hey,

those look really nice.

for anyone interested of making them theirselves. this is how to to do it.
in the manual we are not using the dde rings, but the process should be the same.

good luck.
