I had last week off from work, with the three concerts I was going to cancelled, watching all the Forester Gump videos gave me lots of ideas for my brand new WRX "Tighty Whitey". Made a week off during a pandemic less pointless and boring!
I applaud people who have the patience to spend that much time replacing headlights! I started driving when halogens were "new" and thought THOSE were the best thing ever.
Dude I bought the first set of mid depth sockets Matco made back in 05 and I use them as my primary set to this day, I LOVE THEM. I tell my people looking to get into the automotive field that they need to be one of the first sets they buy.
Yep. Not many girls like her around . There's something about a girl wearing tight shorts , who can do all this repair stuff and fix cars with such attention to detail that makes her SO damn sexy !!! Fantastic stuff girl , keep it up !!!
Unbelievable. Tons of work to make a mod on your car most people won’t even notice. Love your OCD and admire you for your patience and skills. Great work and wonderful entertainment. Keep on.
You make these tutorials so thorough. I enjoy the comedy, the not to subtle innuendo's. They are very informative, and give me ideas on stuff I'm doing (or trying to do) and you are super easy on the eyes. Keep it up young lady.
Watching your blog has become a habit every episode demonstrates your creative, persistent capabilities. Please keep up the good work you are a pleasure to watch.
thank you, finally somebody showed how the projector actually mounts inside the housing instead of just talking about it, btw, the reason the reflecting surface inside the headlight comes off so easy is because it is actually a solution of pure silver not chrome, if it were chrome it wouldn't wipe off but it also wouldn't reflect the light, chrome shines but doesn't actually reflect.....
You made that retrofit look easy. I've done a couple and while the results are worth the trouble that is not a easy project. Keep up the great work Sarah!
hard core mod! changing up the headlight assemlies to this degree is really impressive! I think its gonna look great! and as always, you're doing a helluva job!
what a classic... maybe an all time best video! best in content, best in editing, best in music, ...and best in Sarah! ("there is an innuendo in there someplace")
A bunch of respect for your skill, patience, and multitasking abilities to do all of this. I just bought me a Crosstrek and came across your videos. Love the content. Hope to learn a thing or two about subies from you through your vids.
I can't believe how good the quality of your work is and has always been Sara. I would NEVER try to do what you did with these lights...I'm thoroughly impressed as usual.
Love the G.I. Joe ref. Props on this mod. Headlights are intimidating. There is so much that can go wrong, that can't be undone. You nailed it (giggity)! Thanks for sharing.
Good to see your videos. A little skeptical at first, but found myself enjoying your content and humor. I'll keep smashing the thumbs up button when I watch your videos. Thanks for adding to my list of entertainment and DIY know how. Keep up the good work.
I have the same hobby as you but you are way up there .Amazing patience,dedication,gutsy and focused and good looking too. Keep it up girl .Thanks for your wonderful videos.
Welp, if you're gonna endeavor a super time-consuming project, now's the perfect time! Sarah takes 'shelter in place' to the next level. Cool project. Cheers! And, projector beams ROCK! I had a pair of PIAA 959's on my first Subie (YEARS ago). Frickin' loved those things.
Sometimes it seems a day's working on the vehicles takes a little out of you and a little dazzle shows up but remarkably you bounce back vibrant and as beautiful...(and funny) as the start of the day before...!!! yay...!!!
hi Sarah.. there is a tape called fine line its great for cutting a fine line to start your cover point and then after that you can use thicker tape on it to protect your stuff, fine line you can manouver around corners and it holds nice
Hi Sarah, love the videos, particularly the attention to detail. Can I suggest changing your orange indicator bulbs for chrome or LED to get rid of the ‘fried egg look’ keep up the good work.
This just turned into a Peter Jackson 3 part epic! 😊 Its certainly a nail biter and I'm constantly amazed how much work you're willing to put in to get the results you want. Hope everything goes to plan 🤞 Thanks Sarah for continuing to make great content in these difficult times. Its appreciated.
Sarah, I saw this video come up right after you uploaded it. It said there was no views yet. Could I have been the first to view it? That’s so cool, I’ve never had that happen to me. Loved the video, like all you do. Keep up the content and don’t change.
Another great video Sarah. You have kept me sane through all this insanity that’s been going on. I’m slipping a bit though. I have watched every single back issue. I may have to start all over at the beginning. What, wait...no, I can check out all your TFL car reviews. 👏👏👏 you’ve saved my sanity again. No...really. I do appreciate your work. I honestly believe that you are one of the best UA-camr’s around. No, really I do. Ok, I’ll stop now......
Did a clear lens swap and bulb upgrade to my mothers RX350, a couple of christmases ago. Drove around late a night one night, to test headlight leveling and the AFS system. A number of people called the police as I did the same thing, drove around without a front bumper and headlight lenses.
@@SarahnTuned A middle class neighborhood, I am sure it was Karen. In the persons defense, I did have to make numerous short drives; probably looked like I was casing the neighborhood.
Wow great stuff Sarah!! last summer i installed a fog light kit on my Chevy Cruze ( with some help from a friend ) and it made a big difference on how my front end looks now : ) So i really like these mods that you do!!
Nice work, Sarah; you are one brave refabricator! If I had to make that many mods, I would be afraid of ruining my headlights and having to buy new ones (could be due to lack of patience).
Is it just me or has Sarah seemed to be in a better mood of late? Less stressed, less overwhelmed? Either way, I am happy for ya, keep up the cool videos and cooler cars.
I remember when you were trying to figure out how to change the diff oil on your forester. You've come a long way since then with a technical mod like this.
Theres a thin vinyl tape that would be great for taping off that difficult LED channel thing. It has more flex than masking tape. I used to use it when doing finish work on guitars but I believe custom auto paint folks use it to. Nice work!
You can make your own DIY power supply using a xbox power adapter. So you don't have to mount them on the headlights on the vehicle to do adjustments. When everything is final assembled you can adjust the vertical height only. For base height reference use the dot on the headlight lense that's your starting point for height adjustment.
I always love watching your videos, and I understand the need for time-lapse. I'm definitely not criticizing in any way, but I really wanted to see a little more detail when you were cutting in the bowl for the projector. Was hoping it went just a tad slower. You definitely have excellent skills and I'm a little envious of the work you do. Great job!
Hey Sarah, I’ve painted my brake calipers over the last few days in my garage and it took literally a day of sanding them and get everything spot on. Luckily I’m not on the same ocd level as you or it would have taken a whole week. I have the greatest respect for your work (and cleaning😉). So anyway keep on wrenching and stay safe!
I didn't this retrofit with my 2001 Acura TL. I enjoyed those dual high beams, the cut-off, and those 600k HIDs 🙌🏽. Turned around and sold my car to a High schooler.
I think it's awesome that you paint on your city supplied trash can too! my trash guys probably think I'm nuts. all of my neighbors cans still look brand new.
With the quality of your videos I’m surprised you don’t have well over 1m subs. Oh well, patience is a virtue and you’ve got that covered! 👍🇦🇺 (Australia)
We used to do that in the factory where I worked, Vacuum Plating was awesome if you wanted a funky phone case or anything else plating, just used to bribe the guys running it with coffee.
Really nice work so far. It's a lotta work, but the difference in beam pattern and light focus is worth it, especially when you can't see sh!t at night, like me.
So, you must be cool with the front/rear height balance of the coil-over kit to embark on this. You have amazing patience, skill and attention to detail. I would have to lock up the 8lb. Sledgehammer halfway through a project like this.
@Sarah -n- Tuned If you want a real challenge. I retrofitted my headlights too, but after finishing the first set i decided to make a version 2. I fitted 2 projectors in each headlight, so now i have 4 low and 4 high beams. They are mounted so all of them line up.
Awesome video. You definitely did more work than I did on a recent lighting project. I bought a 3d printer so I could do custom tail lights, but seriously bad ass content as usual.
Hi. I just recently started subscribing to UA-cam car review channels and it would not be complete without you!!. You are such a breath of fresh air. If you ever make a trip up to Ontario, Canada, let me know. I'd love to take you out to dinner. :)

The old "paint on top of the trash can" maneuver. It's one of my favorites.
It always impresses me the amount of time you put into these projects and your attention to details
You made that retrofit look easy. I've done a couple and while the results are worth the trouble that is not a easy project.
Keep up the great work Sarah!
hard core mod! changing up the headlight assemlies to this degree is really impressive! I think its gonna look great! and as always, you're doing a helluva job!
Amazing patience and dexterity. You are really so good at "sweating" every tiny detail. Wish I could find a mechanic like you to look after my car!
Pffft HA! Yeahhhh "look after your car" sure sure bud...ok. Lmao!
learn to do it yourself.
It' not often you see such method, skill, and technique in videos today. I commend you on a job well done. Your videos are becoming addicting.
Sarah, 👍for your tenaciousness. Glad the lights turned out great.
what a classic... maybe an all time best video! best in content, best in editing, best in music, ...and best in Sarah! ("there is an innuendo in there someplace")

Wow Sarah you amaze! I could watch you all day. Your attention to detail is quite astonishing. + Your a hoot to boot.
This is some serious work! That reflective surface inside is not any kind of chrome or paint, but is a vaporized aluminum deposit done in a vacuum.
Sometimes it seems a day's working on the vehicles takes a little out of you and a little dazzle shows up but remarkably you bounce back vibrant and as beautiful...(and funny) as the start of the day before...!!! yay...!!!
Hi from England. Lights coming along nicely. When you peel masking tape off pull it back 180 degrees on itself to pull less on the paint below.
hi Sarah.. there is a tape called fine line its great for cutting a fine line to start your cover point and then after that you can use thicker tape on it to protect your stuff, fine line you can manouver around corners and it holds nice

SOO MUCH LOVE... I JUST GOT DONE DETAILING A 2017 RED FORESTER. IT WAS TRASHED.. LIKE NEW NOW... ONLY TOOK 12 HOURS

I’m excited about the cut on the beam. It’s so defined! I have to look into doing these on my ride.🙂
You have the patience of a saint on this stuff! I personally hate any projection headlight that has a sharp cutoff.
Did a clear lens swap and bulb upgrade to my mothers RX350, a couple of christmases ago. Drove around late a night one night, to test headlight leveling and the AFS system. A number of people called the police as I did the same thing, drove around without a front bumper and headlight lenses.
Wtf, where do you live that people have enough time on their hands to call police on something so trivial?
@@SarahnTuned A middle class neighborhood, I am sure it was Karen. In the persons defense, I did have to make numerous short drives; probably looked like I was casing the neighborhood.
You look to be feeling better. I'm noticing a lot more energy and happiness in your recent videos.
Wow great stuff Sarah!! last summer i installed a fog light kit on my Chevy Cruze ( with some help from a friend ) and it made a big difference on how my front end looks now : ) So i really like these mods that you do!!

9:39 that's such a good feeling when you do something smart like label P and D and it pays off 5 years later lol
I wonder if it was one of her puns to use p & d instead of r & l
You deserve your own show on the Motor Trend channel...seriously.
I don’t want one.
@@SarahnTuned Neither do I.
I remember when you were trying to figure out how to change the diff oil on your forester. You've come a long way since then with a technical mod like this.
I admire a woman that can turn a wrench. I know guys that wouldnt atempt half of your projects. I TIP MY HAT TO YOU MY LADY!!!
Wow, what an intense retrofit. Congrats on your achievement. I wouldn’t be surprised if you had dreams about your Forester!
Sarah, 3M makes a masking tape that is purple. It is for fragile surfaces. I use it on guitars. Awesome job!
Theres a thin vinyl tape that would be great for taping off that difficult LED channel thing. It has more flex than masking tape. I used to use it when doing finish work on guitars but I believe custom auto paint folks use it to. Nice work!

13:27 that happy dance tho the lights look dope
Just the good old in and out game. That is a happy projector.
Sarah, your dedication and commitment is incredible! 15 hours + for just the headlights? Wow. 👍
Your doing a great job. I’m very impressed on how much patience you have.
Yay! I love it when you post. I miss your "fire" when you're between videos. Your videos are informative and I love your OCD.

Michael Skinner too hard to do that and film at the same time.
@@SarahnTuned Yes, of course. I had a senior moment and forgot that you're doing all of the filming. 🤪
Wow, that thumbnail was eye-catching to say the least! Beautiful, geeky and better with cars than I am.
Love the Channel and the work You do... but most of all it's You that makes the Channel Great!!!
Amazing Works! I only could in Sarah’s proyect
Hey Sarah, I’ve painted my brake calipers over the last few days in my garage and it took literally a day of sanding them and get everything spot on.

CUSTOM!! Awesome! job well done. You needed a huge bug zapper for the night time work.
Nice plant or flower intro. Looked nice
5:17
Hahaha, look at Sarah breathing all fast with the time lapse.. now that is friggin adorable.. 😁👍✌
Wow Sarah works FAST! I've never seen hands move like that!
I am sooooooooooooo glad you posted today!!!!!!!!
I didn't this retrofit with my 2001 Acura TL.
I enjoyed those dual high beams, the cut-off,
and those 600k HIDs 🙌🏽. Turned around and
sold my car to a High schooler.
Your dedication is incredible. I would have given up after day 1. Should look alot better when finished.
I think it's awesome that you paint on your city supplied trash can too! my trash guys probably think I'm nuts. all of my neighbors cans still look brand new.
So much talent, you should be on TV with your own show.
Peter Bertuglia TV is a dying platform, I would turn down the offer if one existed.
@@SarahnTuned That is a great point. Should have thought of that because I dont watch TV at all any more, hardly, just some of the good car shows.
Gonna have to pull another DD-341 for excellence!! Getting surgical with the lights. Great work, and as always, stay awesome!😎
A lot of effort and dedication went into those two backsides!
Sarah, when you peel the tape off use your hot breath blowing on it as you peel. Helps a lot, really!
With the quality of your videos I’m surprised you don’t have well over 1m subs.
Oh well, patience is a virtue and you’ve got that covered! 👍🇦🇺 (Australia)
The music you had during the headlight housing dissection sounded like the soundtrack from Revenge of the Nerds!
Love it when a plane comes together
AWSM work Sarah, the lights will be great.
The bare plastic parts are placed in a chamber where aluminum is vaporized. The vapor then attaches itself to the plastic with the look of chrome.
We used to do that in the factory where I worked, Vacuum
Plating was awesome if you wanted a funky phone case or anything else plating, just used to bribe the guys running it with coffee.
I didn't know that you could do this. I'm so doing this to my car now. Thanks Sarah.
Awesome friggin job... Beautiful Sarah working on cars.... Not much better than that...
Good video I learned a long time ago I used to Mark things left and right in an ideal came to me only have to mark the left side right side automatic
Really nice work so far. It's a lotta work, but the difference in beam pattern and light focus is worth it, especially when you can't see sh!t at night, like me.

Hi Sarah,
It's always amazing to see the amount of work and the passion you put in your projects.
This is definitely a good quarantine pastime 👍
I wasn't going to say anything, but since you brought it up, I do enjoy a trim backside.
@Sarah -n- Tuned
If you want a real challenge.
I retrofitted my headlights too, but after finishing the first set i decided to make a version 2. I fitted 2 projectors in each headlight, so now i have 4 low and 4 high beams. They are mounted so all of them line up.
Nothing better than a trimmed backside!
Wow. That's a lot of detail work.
Awesome video. You definitely did more work than I did on a recent lighting project. I bought a 3d printer so I could do custom tail lights, but seriously bad ass content as usual.
Sarah,. Just keep doing what yuo do , makes being stuck at home bearable 👍
Hi. I just recently started subscribing to UA-cam car review channels and it would not be complete without you!!. You are such a breath of fresh air. If you ever make a trip up to Ontario, Canada, let me know. I'd love to take you out to dinner. :)
Looking forward to part 3 and seeing the final result of the headlights. So far, they look pretty nice.
Glad to know I'm not the only person in AZ who uses the trash bin as a platform for spray painting ;)
I wonder where you get the inspiration and patience ? must be your attention to all the details in your life !
Looks good but you should put in some LEDs or chrome bulbs for the turn signals to get rid of that "egg yolk" effect while your'e at it Sarah 👍
side note if you pull the tape off at a 45 degre angle when the paint is still soft you wont mess up the edge..
Great attention to detail in a looking good quirky way. Thanks
That's a ton of work! Looks great though and more satisfying than buying one off the shelf👍 good job Sarah!
Very innovative. You have way more patience than me, Props!!👍👍👍
I always enjoy watching your videos.
Enjoy the weather 🤘✌😎
