    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.

    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.

  • @ChrisVZ77
    @ChrisVZ77 Рік тому +1

    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.

    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 :-)
