88TSI_Rob Posted November 13, 2005 Report Share Posted November 13, 2005 Un-do 2 outer screws holding the trim and 3 inner screws to remove the turn/fog light housings. Unplug all the lights and you should end up with something like this:http://www.we-todd-did-racing.com/wetoddimage.wtdr/wMTEyNzM1OTZzNDEzZGZkMzF5NTQx.jpghttp://www.we-todd-did-racing.com/wetoddimage.wtdr/wMTEyNzM1ODZzNDEzZGZkMzF5NTQx.jpg Notice the 4 metal tabs around the fog light lense? Pop them off using a flat head screwdriver. Also, pull those rubber drain hoses off. At this point you need to heat up the housings to loosen up the silicon sealer. I first ran them under hot water. To clean them off and to warm them up from being outside in the 50 deg. weather. I then set the oven to 180 deg. and let them sit for about 10-15 min. This was enough for me to get the turn signal lenses out, but I needed to keep bumping up the temp to 210 deg. before I could pop the fog lenses out. http://www.we-todd-did-racing.com/wetoddimage.wtdr/wMTEyNzM1NzZzNDEzZGZkMzF5NTQx.jpg At this point you could pop in the new lenses, but I wanted mine tinted. I ended up using a spray tint designed for Lexan R/C car bodies. It's Pactra "Racing Finish" RC294 Window Tint. It comes in a 3oz can which is plenty. A couple coats and I ended up with this:http://www.we-todd-did-racing.com/wetoddimage.wtdr/wMTEyNzM1NjZzNDEzZGZkMzF5NTQx.jpg A new bead of silicon sealant is applied to the housings and the lenses are installed. http://www.we-todd-did-racing.com/wetoddimage.wtdr/wMTEyNzM1NDZzNDEzZGZkMzF5NTQx.jpg Obviously, you just re-install all the lights and scew everything back together the way it came apart. And I ended up with this as the result:http://www.we-todd-did-racing.com/wetoddimage.wtdr/wMTEyNzM1MzZzNDEzZGZkMzF5NTQx.jpghttp://www.we-todd-did-racing.com/wetoddimage.wtdr/wMTEyNzM1MjZzNDEzZGZkMzF5NTQx.jpghttp://www.we-todd-did-racing.com/wetoddimage.wtdr/wMTEyNzM1MTZzNDEzZGZkMzF5NTQx.jpghttp://www.we-todd-did-racing.com/wetoddimage.wtdr/wMTEyNzM1MDZzNDEzZGZkMzF5NTQx.jpg I considered cutting that reflector out of the fog light housing but decided not to. Now I sort of wish I had cut them out. Other than that I'm really happy with the results. I may post some night pics if anyone is interested. I still have the corner markers to do, but they'll have to wait for another day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it come with the kit? 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emagdnim Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 You also get better "glass shine" results when you tape off the outside and spray tint the inside of the glass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
