It's all in the details...

Not as hard as thought:

Stock:






I found that just using a hack saw blade by hand is best. dremel may be too aggressive.

Cut 1:


Cut 2:


Cut 3:


Opened:


Filed the edges to make smooth for good glue contact. Make sure you blow out the lenses clear of any plastic crumbs. Switched bulbs and applied a little super glue:


Applied a little clear silicon sealer to keep out the moisture:




Fin:




Took me about 30 minutes per light. I know it seams like a lot of work to change a bulb and if it blows out I will have to repeat the process, but like i said, it's all in the details...

 

I agree...nice job

 

nice one!!!

 

i never understood why they can't just make the bulb replaceable instead of the whole housing.

 

Awesome job!!!

 

I did this a while back and used chrome bulbs for a clear look.

Stock is on the left, my modified clear one on the right.

This will remain a mystery forever.

 

Slide it towards the door and lift the other end.

 

Nice work! I should try it soon too.

I believe the US is the only place that requires to put orange stuff on cars.

Still trying to figure out how the orange markers help to improve safety haha...

 

i hate the orange look of the side markers, ill be doing some kind of mod like this soon to get rid of it, was thinking the chrome bulb also or going to white leds....

 

wow, all that work for bulb change. silly engineers...

 

wow nice!
