its a bad idea to get the regular housings and convert them to hid. hella makes purpose made hid housings in the exact same size. they cost a bit more though. i recommend getting them from www.rallylights.com, great people over there.

 

why isnt it recommended?

 

go to chuck's site.... he has pictures there

 

Thanks alot, dude. khris

 

Get some Acrylic at your local Plastic shop easilly located in the yellow pages on can be ordered on line. Grab your old head light and pull the metal cover off it..make sure you buy thin acrylic like 1/8 or so. Grab a butane torch and run it over the plexyglass while placed over the stock head light. The heat will bend the plexy for you. Oh dont forget to get good grade acrylic. Ok so keep the torch 4-5 inches away from the plexy glass but keep it m oving. As soon as the plexy reaches a temp of 350 degrees or so the plastic will beging to bend..soon yuo will have the perfect shape. Make sure you have a sharpe on hand and outline the area you want to cut and then when cooled off grab a jig saw with the most teeth on the blade you can find and as thin as you can find. Jig the suker out. If you want clear edges you can sand the edges of the acrylic with something like 80grit paper and use the propane and polish the edges ..again be very carefull and take your time once the acryic becomes clear keep it moving untill you finish..



Congradulations you got a new headlight cover...

good info Paul

 

Hey thanks Paul on how to make cover, I did find a shop that sell the plexy glass and the size I was not too sure on but since u mention 1/8 I goona get that today, and start my project.

 

the cover isnt metal its plastic. just be careful not to melt it. another method would be to use a heat gun rather than a torch.

 

Help me here, Today I try to make the light cover for the Re light kit and when I was done the damn thing have a bunch of scratch on it.

 

Sorry for this post, anyway how do I cut the lexan plastic and prevent it from getting scratch?
