Doink! Tapped that Thumbs Up button, there! I don't own a GTR, and I have no plans of modding GTR headlights anytime soon, but I've done a few retrofits in the past, and I know all too well there is no such thing as extraneous information! Of course I watched it all the way through! Awesome stuff, man!
Been looking into doing this kinda stuff on my own car (unfortunately not a GTR) but this type of vid is perfect for me to learn from, the more detail/info the better!
@@flyryde This channel is awesome mate, I only came to look into seperating headlights for some demon eyes I have on their way and I'm hooked into learning everything else now! I have a mk2.5 Focus ST which you guys don't get over there, but theres a dude over here known for doing the headlights on these cars doing all kinds of crazy stuff and I want in on the action haha
Awesome video dude! I'm so used to figuring stuff out for myself, so to find out there's someone who's already got the knowledge and willing to share it is fanatic! I'm no newbie when it comes to nodding cars, or installing factory retrofits, but always willing to learn new techniques. So thanks, Chris, and keep up the amazing work (and videos!). 🤘🏻✌🏻👍🏻💣💥
It's helpful how to pull apart Nissan headlights. I'm building a pair of retrofit for my dad 07 titan and I used a heat gun to pull the aftermarket lights apart and I know by what you mean when the butyl is caked in some areas. I didn't use any tools to pry them just heated them enough where the tabs were easy to pop and grabbed a corner and started pulling till they came apart with ease. Only used the tool just to clean up the exist glue or butyl.
Probably never going to work on a GTR but always interesting to watch someone at work 👍 are you going to go back to the ghozt programming at some point, been using it and have a few questions 😂
Hi Chris, great channel, I found you because I want to update the look of my Jaguar XFR headlights. I’ve been told I can’t open them using an oven, but watching your videos you always use an oven. Do you know of any reason why a Jaguar headlight couldn’t be done in this way or is this guy just not in the know?
I managed to split mine, cleaned and resealed but moisture still gets in, is there a breather on these? I have watched this vid a million times, it was mega helpful.
a98pmalcolm well my boy, you have unfortunately ruined your lights 😣 no good way of comin back from that one. U less you remove literally 100% of everything that’s in there, and the. Pack in a half roll of Retro Rubber sealant into each housing, you’ll never be rid of the leaks. What year are the lights?
Can you explain how the 2 way 1533l2's work? I cant read Korean and the exled site shows either side can be positive? Btw, I dont have a gtr but I watched the whole thing and enjoy your content. If I ever get one, I know how to pull the lights out! I'm looking to some custom stuff on my 2014 Taurus SHO...
I don't have a great but trying to learn i want to learn how to do headlights and taillights so I can modify my truck headlights and taillights currently halogen hard to see anything and want a different look both front and back i have a 2000 ford excursion and 2002 ford f150
Chris does have a gen coupe how to. Watched it back in 2011/12. Its what got me started on the gen coupes lol. Hammered out a good 225-250 of those sets through the years. Heres that video. Now, this is his video for bk1 (2010-2012) headlights. Bk2 (2013+) open the same way, but has more parts inside to pull apart. As with the GTR lights in this video, dont touch clear lens, dont touch chrome unless you are painting. Halo sizes are 80mm on both style lights, but with the bk2, you can run 70mm and have the halo recessed into the projector shroud for a different look. Again, this was the video from Chris that got me started. Many thanks to him, and much respect. Thanks Chris!! th-cam.com/video/zjfMVcFQMY8/w-d-xo.html
Just sitting there for 20 minutes heating each light instead of 7 in the oven. It’s just hard to evenly heat up the seal, and not overheat any areas by staying in one spot for too long, or passing over it too frequently.
You forgot to say put your phone on silent and put do not disturb on your door because you definitely don't want interruptions while doing something as involved as that and then losing your train of thought and forgetting where you placed little clips and screws
shoominati23 I actually love to listen to loud country music when I’m really diving into my work lol. Just can’t do that while making instructional videos 😉

Thank you so much Dave. That's what I want to hear brother! What kind of car do you plan to modify?

Very informative Chris. It's a lot easier when you can see the steps as well as reading. Keep up the good work man. 💯
Love this series 🙌🏻 keep it up Chris 😎

Glad it helped! What did you add for sealant when you resealed?
@@flyryde Automotive silicone sealant..

@@flyryde thanks for your replies bud. They are a 2014 light. New one was on the cards to be honest as there was quite a few water stains :(
@@flyryde what sealant to use?

What size are those bolts that you swap the old little ones out with?
Looking forward to seeing the Gen Coupe How To vid 😏

Whats the best method for the same headlight using the heat gun? Moisture has gotten into mine and there is water marks on the high beam bezel.
Just sitting there for 20 minutes heating each light instead of 7 in the oven. It’s just hard to evenly heat up the seal, and not overheat any areas by staying in one spot for too long, or passing over it too frequently.
@@flyryde ok thanks got the reply :)
Are you gonna show how to reseal the headlights?
What about Corvette...?
