Hey guys... I purchased a really nice set of retrofit projectors for my 6gc.... I am wondering how people have removed the glass from the headlight housing without damaging the plastic or the glass... Any help is greatly appreciated!

You've all been a great help... Unfortunately i ruined my OEM JDM projectors... well not really ruined but i wiped away some of the reflective coating on them while trying to make them... USDM spec. My next project is to well maybe take the lense out of the JDM OEM projector headlights and do something like smkr3w. Give it a more modern look with LED's... I don't mean to jack the idea but I like it. And i like it a lot.
I have ordered morimoto h1 projectors and im thinking up some ideas. I will post pics in my "project" thread on the progression. Thans again for all of the help! |
