Can you post the procedure mike?

I’ve currently got a spare set of OEM lights, and also a set of 2excite lights both of which I wish to split to convert to LHD(2excite) and install angel eyes and tracers :fuelfire:

Because, I need to perfect my method, and wouldn't wish to be responsible for someone ruining their own headlights - I have spares so not really concerned.

Also don’t know if this helps but this is how another forum member did it. He kindly gave me some advice on how to do it but I haven’t had the time/balls yet!

Now that you’ve tried & succeeded wonder what you think of doing it this way?

I had them up to 145 degrees c before the lens started going cloudy and the glue still wouldn't shift.
