  • This is an easy DIY tutorial on building custom headlights! It's the same process for nearly any car, but I demonstrated the process on my 2016 Roush Supercharged Mustang GT!

      So I wasn't the only one to notice that.
      It seems to be an American thing to needlessly say "go ahead and" in the middle of nearly every sentence. In England we would say "Remove these six bolts, now you can remove this panel, then you'll be able to disconnect the electrical connector", whereas Americans would typically say "Go ahead and remove these six bolts, now you can go ahead and remove this panel, then you'll be able to go ahead and disconnect the electrical connector"...LOL

  • @MrDaavee
    @MrDaavee 6 років тому +65

    Great video as usual...BUT, never use heat guns on your headlight unless you HAVE to. For example, light too big to fit in the oven. Even then, put them in a big box, and use the heat gun to warm up the inside of the box (there is more to it than just putting the light in a box and putting the tip of the heat gun there, but thats the basics). A beginner on this job will screw this up using a heat gun. Plus, those lights are permasealed. They dont come apart as easy as butyl closed headlights. For permasealed lights, 220-230 for 15 min. As long as the light isn't touching any metal, they will NOT melt. Have built countless lights, and a good 20 of those sets. And dam, you struggled pulling those lens off the housing. I was cringing waiting for the lens to snap lol. Diode Dynamics product is great stuff. Use their stuff a lot as well as Morimoto stuff.

      MrDaavee do you lay aluminum foil in a baking sheet? I’ve done 2 sets of headlights successfully and one I melted my lens lol I search and search for new tips and your seems to be best, what about taillights? Just cut back housing and reseal using epoxy mix?

    • @MrDaavee
      @MrDaavee 6 років тому +4

      i lay the lights on a piece of wood. The wood is a great insulator to keep the direct heat from the burner/element away from the headlight and off the metal racking of the oven, but still allow it to properly heat up. If you have that fan in the back of your oven, make sure that is off lol. For permasealed headlights, like (GM, Ford and Dodge), lower temps for longer periods of time works for me. Every retrofitter has their own way of doing things. I do 220-230 for 15 min for permasealed lights. 250-260 for 7 minutes for butyl lights (honda, hyundai). Most tail lights have to be cut open, then epoxy back together, or plastic weld (what ever works best for you) then siliconed up. Use quality stuff. I go so far as to lay tape on either sides of the cuts before i silicone. That way when the sealant is laid down, and pressed it, i remove the tape leaving a thin silicone line that is almost laser straight. Only a few tails can be baked open, or even unscrewed apart. Older cars like the 70s. Few newer ones can too. Like the R35 GTR.

    I just did this on my ford falcon, absolute crap of a job haha. My oven wasn't big enough either so I used the bbq outside.(which also made the missus happier than me using the oven)
    100 degrees Celsius for about 5-6 minutes and they came apart easy enough.
    I also didn't remove the old sealant,mi added fresh sealant where it seemed thin but I just put the reassembled lights back in the bbq to heat up the old sealant and pushed them back together hard.
    So far no sign of any moisture issues and my car sits outside 24/7.
