This is one from March, no AE on, but fitted.

Put full beams on for 10mins. The glue will melt unless you used vht glue that will melt in the glue gun but not melt after setting.

I know, mine melted and shifted.

Mine must be that - I drive late at night from the airport down back country lanes on full beams, and had no issues. Thanks for the info :thumbsup:

It's for that reason that I used high temp clear silicone when I did mine. After all these years no issues at all.
 
Here's one this evening.... Angels only

With xenon main beams on, you lose the definition of the ring:

I used external black waterproof sealant, again from B&Q, takes 24 hours to fully set (kept headlights indoors). To make the appearance clean, where the headlight is showing if the bonnet is open, I used a strip of neoprene and stuck over the join using the same sealant...

Do you mean sealing back and fron together?

If so, I just used clear domestic silicone sealer. Used typical large DIY tube and gun. If it's good enough for a shower, it'll keep a bit of rain out.

Thanks Markeg they look really good. Given me the kick up the ar*e I needed to get mine finished. Thank you. Do you have yours wired as sidelights or DRL's. how bright in daylight?
 
I had them wired as DRL previously, now just as sidelights. To do a DRL I ran a switch live to the lights - it's still there if I want to change from sidelights to DRL.

They are pretty bright in daylight, very noticeable.

Can you expand what you did there? I think I want mine as DRL.
Why did you swap back?
 
No real reason, just fancied a change. Let me dig out the photo of the wire feed for you...

The positive feed is linked to the LEDs, and the negative is taken off the sidelights. Here's the electrical connectors inside my lights (blue is the negative bullet, red the positive)
