I enjoy your videos! I'm a mechanic and body guy by trade. Bc of your videos I tackled my first projector retrofit and sequential turn signal for my navigator headlights since the aftermarket suck for those suv's. I appreciate all the great tips!
Amazing video! Always extremely informative, helpful, and builds our confidence to DIY. I spoke to the owner of a local custom lighting shop, who used to do retros (oven/un-seal/halo/demon eye/seq/etc/butyl re-seal). He said they gave it up cause they were ruining some lights in the oven, from off-gassing. Have you heard/seen of this? Is it something to be concerned about? Does it have to do with the sealant the manufacturer uses? I have a Hyundai Veloster N. Thanks bro.
Any tips on newer 2019 QX80 lens only found 2 screws on back by can’t get it to budge. Even damaged back housing of donor light with screwdriver but don’t want to use on good housing did 240 20 min but won’t release thanks love your work
Great video. I'm wanting to do this to a spare set of headlights I've got but they've got a small handful of what appear to be metal tabs sticking up through the edge of the plastic. Not sure how to get a pic of it to you but would love you opinion on how to best deal with them if possible. Thanks.
Hey finally back on the channel . So my question was how can I get a light to glow 1 light 2 l8ght 3 lights and so on the run in a circolare motion.trying to do this to an ef hatch center reflector
Greetings to everyone! I would like to see a video on how to clean the inside of the headlight lens! I love the content of your channel, I've been a mechanic in the military and civilian sector! I am learning a lot by the professional way you present and explain your trade! Have a wonderfully blessed day!
Can you do a video or just a summary of how to open lights that use the permanent seal like the sprinter. That stuff just remains pretty much hard even if you put it in the oven. What do you use on those? Any advice would be just amazing. I butchered my sprinter headlights and when I get the new ones I don't want to mess them up again. On a sprinter they're a pain in the ass. One installer I met in Arizona said he won't mess with that car and if he does it's 500 bucks just to open the headlights.
yes...please make a video of how to clean the inside of a lens..my BMW has a while cloud and they are the xeon type...expensive. I wonder if they can be cleaned from the inside...THANKYOU 😃
Great content. Did my first retrofit a few years ago on my JDM Soarer and now wanna go a bit further with my G35. Where do you find your custom led parts from? Is there an online store I can look?
Curious about the oven process. Why not use boiling water? At 212F, it's pretty close to the 220 of the oven, and you don't risk the radiant heat concentrating on one spot. You would have to remove the bulbs/wires, but the even, consistent heat might be worth the trade-off.
need some help with seal my headlights from moisture, recently replaced with halo round lights comes with angel ring, noticed some moisture got to it, whats your recommendations Please, Thanks mate .
Great video man , I need some help .. so the black plastic that is right under the lens is bubbling up like the paint .. I never opened them but want to fix them .. how would I get rid of the bubbling paint .. so if u look at the lens then go down there black plastic . That part
Hi in one of your videos you said preheat your oven 200c. and that was electric cooker you had mate. I only have a gas cooker could you please tell me what gas mark i should have it on please. And for how long do i leave it in for. Could you please let me know thank you.
2003 Monte Carlo tail lights 200F won’t come open @ 14 mins each regular oven.. … trying 220F bought new OEM tail lights ($200) to replace both broken lens on my aftermarket barracuda tail lights($450+ a pair) did this once before . Last time used only Heat gun and it worked kind of but had to cover the edges with electrical tape because they melted and went white from lack of patience haha ugh any tips ?
Trucks are soooo much more work to open. I tend to advise people to spare themselves the learning curve, and just cut. Check out Jack: th-cam.com/video/yphujhMi6NY/w-d-xo.html
I had custom headlights made a year ago. They must up. I while back I brought them inside to dry out overnight and added more sealant around the whole edge to try help but still must up but still must up. Any suggestions? I did think to put in a cardboard box with hair dryer for a while to try fully dry them. But not sure how long is safe to leave them like that?
Have you ever worked on a 2011 mazda 3 with hid...turns with the steering wheel..no dtr...I want to do my lights but don't know where to get parts or to begin
You mentioned not to put a BMW headlight in the oven unless it's old. How old does the BMW need to be to be safe to put the headlight in the oven? I have a 2010 750 that I want to put LED angel eyes in and black it out.
Hello my friend...can I use a heat gun instead of an oven? I do have an oven...but it is pretty small...I don't think my headlights are going to fit in the tiny lil space😆
Can you do a video on a 2015 Buick Enclave? I cant stand the chrome accents and all that so I'm trying to paint the headlights black. I'm also trying to do the taillights but dont know if I should paint them or tint them I have no idea but would like your advice on how to do the headlights mainly
hey great video. i want to see if something would work the next time you take one apart and in has finger prints try using a ceramic paint cleaning/protection spray i use it on the black chrome on my car and it takes everthing away
I use antistatics for work. I use a special strap that clips around my footwear and my calf and I stand on a grounded mat. I hate wrist straps they catch on everything.
I have a question because I’m looking into doing mine soon. Don’t know if you are active in these comments or not still. But would love to ask you. Thanx bro
SUPER HELPFUL VIDEOS @FlyRyde !! How many minutes do you need to put the light back in the oven for the resealing portion ? The same 7 minutes? Also, I noticed you used clamps to help push the lens back into the housing; but you only needed them briefly--is it just safer than pushing it back together by hand? Also, where do you get your clamps from? Your attention to detail is why I subscribed :-)
Yessss! 3g eclipse GT I want demon head lights I got halos now, infinity tail lights! I’m learning I got a pair of stock lights to play with! Must know more whys and don’t do ,and how to correct different things
I have done so many headlights and i've always wiped them clean. Would love to hear why not to do that? Ive always been forced to bc like you said, it takes a couple days and the lenses get dust on them.
it kinda sucks driving a 94 with glass lenses and no aftermarket support. My ls400 would look so good with angel eyes like yours but i don't know if i can actually smooth out the inside of the lenses to make halos and angel eyes actually viable.
Well, one year later i hope i get a reply, o have some bolts inside my headlight that can not be removed, can i heat up the headlight with them on, or not?
Great content! This is the first video of yours that I've watched. What if you wanted to make your drls look like a solid light bar like you see on some newer cars?
I don't know if anyone asked if you'd make a video showing us how to fix lens hazing from the inside, but I would be interested in seeing how you would go about doing that.
yes please make a video on how to clean the inside of the lens
You got it bro 👌
I been asking that since last year 🤣

Makes me happy to hear that bro 🙌 way to go!
How'd they turn out
You have a new loyal subscriber! I love seeing people who care about what they do and really strive for perfection! Excellent advice thank you!
Where did you get the honey comb lense? Thank you so much for the info
Thanks for the pro tips! I was wonder what drill you use and how you set up in a home oven. Thanks again. Big fan of your channel.
That was the Milwaukee M12 Impact driver 👍
Awesome video! Did you ever make a video on how to clean the inside of the lense if it’s been touched or if it’s had moisture inside??

First time i watched your video. Awesome and very informative. Just one question. How long do you leave them in the oven for?
I was thinking the same 😂
Did you ever make a video over cleaning the inside lens? I have to do that to a pair of lights i picked.
Thanks!

Just my thought, water and electric components don’t mix. If the oven technique works, why switch it up?
Yeah I don’t see why you would do that.. you would ruin the inside for sure and make your job 20x more difficult.
need some help with seal my headlights from moisture, recently replaced with halo round lights comes with angel ring, noticed some moisture got to it, whats your recommendations Please, Thanks mate .
Make sure you use retro rubber to reseal, and check all your caps. Also add a pack of silica if you need to.
How would you tell if you have a light with permaseal vs butyl?
I was reading through your parts list, what exactly would you be using that 4 channel remote for? 🤔🤔
Great video man , I need some help .. so the black plastic that is right under the lens is bubbling up like the paint .. I never opened them but want to fix them .. how would I get rid of the bubbling paint .. so if u look at the lens then go down there black plastic . That part
Looking to tackle a set of demon eyes for the 1st time on my 2014 mercedes cla45. Would you recommend removing the Headlight ballast when baking?

I have done so many headlights and i've always wiped them clean. Would love to hear why not to do that? Ive always been forced to bc like you said, it takes a couple days and the lenses get dust on them.
Is why he put the plastic wrap on lenses so he didn't have to wipe them off.
Also I would assume if you used the wrong rag or didn't properly clean it you would be scratching the lenses.
How long do you leave them in the oven ?
Is the legal to have on public roads?
