Joey mod went wrong!
« on: 04 December 2012, 00:36 »
Tried to do the joey mod on my headlights today, first try ended up with the headlight exploding after just gently trying to pry it apart after heating them. Really was a surprise as I was expecting the lenses to be plastic instead of glass! So my question is, do any of you guys know where I can get a set of these already done that don't have angel eyes or devil eyes, day time running lights or any other additional lighting?

eBay!! Hong Kong for about £3 delivered!!!

Went on quite well, not as forgiving as the carbon film but it will do for now, there are a couple of small bubbles but I'm not too worried about them ATM... Just want my car back on the road sooo badly!!!!
