Title: Removal of Headlight suround
Post by: Peter Wright on June 1, 2003, 17:00

Does anyone remember an article of about 1 to 2 years ago regarding the removal of the headlight housing & the way to get the perspex away from the backing
I believe it was on spyderchat but cant find it now s:?: :?: s:?:

I have it printed out but my scanner has a conflict s:!: :!: s:!:

(no suprise there for the IT bods that know of me s:wink: :wink: s:wink: )

How much of a rush are you in for the information as i can photocopy it & bring along to JAE.

s:D :D s:D

Failing that I can get one of my mates to scan it for me then I can e-mail it.

He's got me intregued now.....what else can you do once the headlight cover is removed s:?: :?: s:?:

I did toy with the idea of droping a spot in to the indicator port but when the 03 model came out I decided not to bother as it would be easier to buy 03 headlights.

I've heard that the headlight has to go in the oven s:shock: :shock: s:shock: for a while to warm up the seal to separate the glass from the rest of the unit.

Then once you've finished doing your mod you do the same thing again to warm it to get the seal again, that's what I remember from Spyderchat anyway.

I remember a conversation with Peter at Chelmsford and I reckon I know what he's up but I'll wait and see at JAE s:wink: :wink: s:wink:
