If you have a medium weight cutting wheel then it should slip right in there. Mine does.

 

badevo,

alright, i'll do some 'hardware' shopping tomorrow and see if i can land myself something like this. cant buy it off online as i the percentage of the goods arriving in my hands is near zero with the care of the authorities in my country... sigh...

thanks badevo.

double confirm....cut the middle adhesive in between the rear portion of the light cluster (black) and the outer plastic frame (clear lense)..

 

Headlights turned out awsome not to hard very time w/e. Taillights i Destroyed well not really but its really hard and i quite after i broke the lense. I was using the dremel on the tails and it looked ****y but i had no clue how to do it

 

well i just got some TYC cf tails and let me tell ya, tyc sucks. first the fitment wasnt perfect. second there was ALOT of condensation. to cure these stupid problems, i threw them into the oven. 400 degrees, at 7 mins. took them out and pryed them open, same as headlamps. i had no cracking whatsoever. i put tape on the outside lens so it would not get full of silicone. then i re-sealed it, put it in the oven and then smashed it together. condensation fixed. so i threw it back in the over for 7 more mins and quickly took it out. i then bent the 'sharp' corners in wards so it now stays flush within the body of the lancer. all that work for a 'certified' tail light.

 

oops... for a couple of posts i thought PITA was a brand... wtf!!

 

It is not adhesive. The tailights are heat bonded. Heating does jack, you have to cut it. I learned this the hard (and expensive way). I ended up buying MR tails.




I just got my headlights done to match

 

I been sayin that since post # 18. lol.

Looks good man.

 

digitaleknig,

my apologies....i used the wrong word.... i know its heated on... i got some pics of my friends modified headlights and rear lights too... will post later..

 

Ive finally found these goddam headlights and once they arrive I will be lookin at chroming the housing instead of leaving them black as original. I'm sceptical about DIY too so will have to source a pro to do it.
Will chroming to the same degree affect the headlight beam ? Anyone know?
Two pics: the headlight look I want and the look they are now...

 

Do i have to take my bumper off to take my headlights out? I just gotta change my winker lights and I don't feel like going through all that........ someone help me..............

 

winker lights ??? WTF???

Yes you have to pull the bumper to get the headlights out

 

BADEVO I wish I had your knowledge about the tails 4 mos. ago. I used a heat gun and F'D mine up. They are all bubbly around the sides and one of them leaks. EVERYONE LISTEN TO BADEVO USE A DREMEL!!!!!!!!! You will not be sorry.

 

Yeah I try and tell folks, to much heat = fugged up tails.

 

Well when I do my new ones Ill be smart and listen.

 

winker lights are the yellow lights on top of the turn signal light. SO, I have to take the whole thing out to change one bulb??
