Chris, try sitting it (head lamp) on a piece of peg board cut to fit the box with the heat entering the box below the peg board. You would have to prop it (peg board) up a few inches with wood.. This should diffuse your heat somewhat, mitigating risk of over heating one spot. *Edit: coat the inside of the box with aluminum hvac tape
Ive been doing this for 2 years now perfect setup for butyl sealed headlights but permaseal not a chance lol 😆 u also need a small "exhaust" hole at the top of the box to let the hot air come out otherwise you will be buying a heatgun after each job lol I've been there.
Hi, would i be ok doing my 2015 scirocco headlights, i dont want to screw them as there bi-xenon with bend lighting, super rare and about £650 $770 US each used. cheers.
So I did this exact thing with some cheap ebay headlights for an acura TSX. and jt was IMPOSSIBLE no matter how long i let it cook. The cheap headlights used really hard glue that was nearly impossible to pull apart. watching this video inspired me to try finishing the project😂
Only think that’s ever put me off doing my own lights is that Mrs wouldn’t let me use the oven and I didn’t wanna buy a second lol this is a great idea
Wait until you light a cardboard box on fire with an expensive headlight in it, lol. Then she’ll really be stoked on it 🤣🤣🤣 No but seriously I do hope this helps dude 👍
Well story time. I am 16, and i did somethong similar to open some broken headlights to extract the projectors, and it took on fire, big fire, in the basement, home alone, no fire extinguisher, but I managed to put down the fire 🤝
haha you know they make handles for razor blades and a poor mans funnel! how poor do you need to be that a funnel has to move to the wish list. haha but as always great video all the info I need.

The guy(s) at AZC Car Style use this method 100%. Never seems to fail.

If you HAD to, I think adding some extra effort here would be wise… but I’d still feel bad for you 😅

Broooooo 🙌 thanks for the heads up, that makes so much sense 🤦♂️🤷♂️

Fun fact: combustion point of paper/cardboard is 427C. You can put a leftover box of pizza in the oven at 450F to reheat it.
Sweet 🙌🙏
Pretty ingenious!

Sounds like Permaseal. This is not a good solution for permasealed lights at all. Surprising that a set for an Acura is sealed to tough?
Hey dude, just wanted to let you know you won a contest today on my IG live 👌

@@flyryde kinda expected this at some point 😂 just wouldn’t let her know
If I was in a bind and the kitchen oven was in use then I would go a head and try this out fo sure :)
Good method for avoiding the house oven
if you do make your own with a box like this one, line it with aluminum foil and use the 3m aluminum foil tape.
damn, beat me to it
Good for mobile businesses who need to open headlights.

Yikes dude! I’m sure you’re not alone in this.
I was very off on this guess!
That's what she said
Caught that? 😅
Chris, where is your PPE? 😃
You didn’t notice my PPS?
Proper Protective Sandals are a MUST for professionals 🧐
Lol, watch the videos but afraid to comment. Now I have to!

Hey ..... I was right 🤣
It’s cause you’re the great Henriks Booooooooot 🙌
@@flyryde 😂😂 brilliant, hope you n the family are all good Chris ✌️
People are going to melt something lol
To be honest the direct heatgun is by FAR the easiest way to melt lights. This is likelier to burst into flames before the lights melt lol
Should have used arduino
😂
🤣🤣🤣💀
