Clear light and Angel Eye Conversion - The Project and Story
- Thread starter cj10jeeper
- Start date
All finished, well, one of the indicator bulbs is out, so will have to get to that tomorrow. (Reachable from wheel arch? I dont fancy taking bumper and lights off again for a while!)
So, dirty car, bumper not quite aligned and number plate missing. I had planned on using the holder from the old bumper but it appears to overhang the lower grill, is this right?
Thoughts?

Both lights have misted up somewhat, but as the backs are a couple months old, and i hope i sealed them well, hoping this will clear as it did last time.
The indicator bulb closest to the centre grill is out, so will be a bugger to get to through the wheel arch i think
I have already had a fang kiss the ground coming out of the drive, was very slow so nothing big but jeez, day 1.
I've made templates for the skid plates, so depending how good they are, may be able to have a few sets made.

put me down for a set of skid plates please. mine have taken an absolute hammering after i lowered it 
misting up seems to be a common problem. mine misted up after my 2nd go at silicone sealant, but seems to have died down now.
those indicator lights should come out easy enough with a screwdriver in the back of them, but may be best to take the whole headlamp off the car for ease of access.

Thought i'd leave the full beams on for a few mins to dry the lights... $%$## melted the glue on the angel eye so its melted, moved and maybe reset.
Words do not do justice to how pissed off i am right now. Guess its all coming off again tomorrow.
Guys, help me out.
What glue have you used on the AE and what sealant on the lens. The stuff i used on the lens needed 16hrs to fully set!

Lights came out again this morning.
Using 'serious glue' for the AE as it has the highest temp of the adhesives in halfords at 130'C. The inner AE seem ok with the glue gun glue as they're more protected by their outer position and greater distance from the bulb, with lens between.
I never want to do this again though.
I'll test fit and if all working i'll put a little silicone on the rear doors too.
