so ive been toying with the idea for awhile now and i finally decided to do it. my only prob was i didnt want to destroy my only set of tails when i realized....

why dont i just throw my busted *** lop jank one from my totaled fc in the oven and try on that?

anyways i kinda rushed that one and it turned out like ****. kinda broke a portion of the amber lens off in my rush. but when i got it finished and test fitted to the car it looked dope.

so i pulled my clean s5's and spent the better part of the afternoon and evening baking and slowly prying the lens apart from the housing.

finally got it all done about an hour ago.

**** looks dope.

controversial i know. but in my opinion it looks pretty phat.

pictures of the finished project up tomorrow hopefully

 

cant wait to see man ^_^
+1 for being ballsy haha

 

lol

 

pics tomorrow for sure

 

A heat gun or hair dryer works much better than heating them in the oven. Just fyi...

 

i know i was thinking about that but didnt have one on hand. i was also thinking what about steaming or boiling? once i got them apart i ran hot water over the remaining glue/sealant and it came off really easy

 

I did mine in the oven. Probably one of the most stressful tasks I've taken on. But the end result was da bommmmb.

 

Ovens work great, just don't leave em' in to long.

 

i cant get ahold of a damn camara lol so bear with me. still havent resealed them yet lol.
hopefully pics up this weekend. if you hit up del taco youl see them lol

 

I don't do meets, they're against my religion.

No Prob man. So did you just take out the wavy light diffusing stuff?

Maybe instead of bulbs try LEDs...

Nothing controversial about making your FC look better.
