I mounted without the chrome rings, cable tied power injectors to the wires behind the headlights, and broke a small ring. Ordered another pair of small ones from GR8XR6 He has spares I think, contact him ASAP! Used a fair bit of silicon but not enough on one small ring. It's split the silicon from me trying to get the small ring to sit flat against the light. Still holding from just one side being stuck though! Not sure I can be bothered to get it apart again yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like any other vehicle with these types of lights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can have anything as your park lights, you could spell out falcon in LED's if you wanted lol, park lights are only used to be seen by others. One big problem I had was putting too much silicon and trying to wipe it up somehow..dont use turps lolCheers Stever Ill just cable tie them like yours...

Anyone who hasnt done this before should give this a go. They are very fragile but the end result is worth it. The most I had done to a car before this was install a BOV, so seeing the end result is super Also you may be able to tell that I resprayed my rings...

Would suggest to those of you who are doing this, put it in oven for 5 mins... use a screwdriver to lever sections apart... Then put back in oven for 3 mins and it will come apart easily...Will update with anything else I find! ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They wouldn't fit in my oven!Went down to the drags for the first time last week and had people taking pics of them, was pretty chuffed Pointed them to the forum to grab a set.

They didnt fit in my oven either lol, I slightly left the door open and left them in there for like 5min. Then I used a screw driver to seperate them. Putting them back together id suggest a heat gun. Double make sure the seal binds and you dont get moisture in your headlights :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
