i know some of you have done this mod by taking apart the headlamp, which i intend to do so as well. But how do i put it back together once its apart? do i need some sort of glue? Any instructions out there?

Also the Euro spec lamps come with this little surround for the turn signal, how can i get this? or somthing similar?

I also want those silver turn signals but i hear they do not work with the US lamps. Is there any out there that work?

The insert is destroyed in the process of removing it, and there's no way to get a new one back in unless you completely took the housings apart....I don't believe it's even possible.

I painted my orange bulbs silver....works great

not possible to retro-fit. You've got to order the euros.

I have heard of the heatgun mod - I was thinking of trying that on my 2 piece headlights actually...

also do you have to destroy the amber piece or can it be put back in?

bobos

it can be done, melt the seal and no drilling required

...the sealer softens up, then when you put it back together you heat it up again to soften it up and it seals back together. But, I did add some silicone sealant to ensure a air-tight seal to prevent leakage. With the hood open you can notice only a little excess if you were looking for it. The first reflector I broke, but the reflectors can be removed without being destroyed once you have taken them apart. And you can put them back in, but of course, you would have to heat them back up to take them apart again. But, don't get me wrong, it's not an easy process. It's takes patience and caution and additional efforts (tools) to take them apart.

sorry to keep bugging you about it buts its alot better of a way to do it than to drill the things out. u should write up a tech article about it, or i might when i do it.

what tools do you use to pry apart the lens from the housing? Thanks, Eric
