They,re far too powerfull bud , if you try and close your bonnet with one of those on and you,ll fold your bonnet in half . The zed tailgate weighs a ton , the bonnet,s aluminium and weighs bugger all :scared:. HTH

Started on my angel eyes
Took a couple of hours on the first one , i used two 2kw fan heaters blowing on either side of the headlight to warm it up nicely, you can see them in the first pic . You could use a hot air paint stripper as long as your gentle to start off with. HTH

Started on my angel eyes
The hid,s in mine are what i canabalised out of a pair of merc headlights a good few years ago before these plug and play kits were available and i used the merc bulb holder for which i used epoxy to glue it in place and thats never come adrift so i cant imagine having any probs as these are a good few inches away from the actual heat source .

Started on my angel eyes
I,m getting some duct vent off CarMad so i,ve had to relocate my sidelights and thought i,d do the angel eye mod . Remove the metal plates and the rubber around the light , warm the glass well and using a flat scraper gently prise the glass up and off the headlight Remove the 2 screws from the bezel and lift out . The reflector area is held on with 3 screws , take this off so it,s easy to work on . The led strips have 24 leds in them but can be cut down after every 3rd led and still work , cut back as close as possible to the 4th one and you,ll find they go in the reflector but i found thy were still tight not sitting well , at the other end where the wires come out there,s a little bit of material that can be removed CAREFULLY so you don,t cut the wire , this allows it to sit flush without trying to lift. I used some scotchbright to key the chrome , got the leds sitting evenly with the join at the top and wicked a bit of superglue around it . Btw i had previously coiled the strips , warmed them and let them cool , they hold their shape alot better. I put it back together making sure it all worked first, i soldered a stronger wire to the leds and ran it out of a breather at the back of the light And the finished result but don,t forget to clean the insides well before rebuilding.

Removing the black side stripe
Get a Caramel wheel , it,s specially designed to remove stripes , decals and double sided tape without damaging your paintwork , you can get them from any decent motorfactor . It,s a rubber wheel on a arbor that you put in a drill and basically rub the stripes or tape off , they work great .HTH Just found this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/STRIPE-REMOVAL-WHEEL-CARAMEL-TOFFEE-WHIZZY-/320613644011?pt=UK_Body_Shop_Supplies_Paint&hash=item4aa60ff6eb
