hmm, i think u just got to split them apart. Plus if u going through all the trouble of spliting them u can install some angel eyes

[d6dph]

not going downthe angel eye route fella. just nice and tidy. Really dont want to split them as i'll break them!

[Hyperion]

True, i dont think i would have the patience to heat the headlamps and split them, (would most probaly crack them aswell). I see ur car is a dark color, eva thought of going the Homemade Smoked Hella look like Mr Lee

[d6dph]

yeah might do that next winter while the car is being painted. this year i just want to keep it tidy.

Think ben said there about 25 quid as he had to buy one awhile back.

[d6dph]

Remove grills, remove 3 screws that hold the light units onto the car, undo plugs, remove bulbs, and fill with warm soapy water in the kitchen sink, and give them a good shaking, leave to dry, it's suprising how much gunk comes out of them, you can do the same with the foglights.

With the dipped beams, if they're ellipsoid, you can unscrew the rear half of the light, and get better access inside the light to clean them up.

cheersw simon, they are off the car anyway so ill do that tomorrow. another day off spent fiddling with the car, gotta love it!

Hopefully ill get my all red rear lamps in too.

You sorted your wheel spacers out yet dude

[d6dph]

yup 16mm on rears and 10mm on fronts.

Equates to et22 rear and et26 front. looks good. did you want those 20mm ones?

[woodysjw]

Did u get em made up my wheels are et35 got 9.5mm on front and
nothing on the rear and it makes the rear wheels look to small.

I dont think i would get 20mm ones on my car mate.
