Hmmm, If I am honest I like the lights more before, they now remind me of lights that have had a film tint put on them. They look very nice when switched on though!
What have you been using to reseal the lights once split, I have just had a set of 16M lights refurbished and the lens done, and now I have to put them back together again! I bought the stuff on a role but not sure if there is anything better!
To be honest, I'm the same but It's more about when the DRLs are on for me, than when the car is sitting switched off. I felt that they light up the big chrome bit of trim at the front too much.
The rolls of butyl rubber aren't great to work with and a bit of a faff because you need to heat the whole lot up in one got to push the lense on. I tried using it the first time and binned it. Instead I use Sikaflex 552. It's similar to windscreen sealant.
Thanks just bought some, do you just put it in the gap, offer up, then use clamps and leave over night?
Yeah, but most headlights have got wee metal clips that you put on that will hold it together. If not then strong tape might be a better idea. What car are you modding? If it's the Audi, you might find it easier than most. The R8 is the first Audi I;ve done and it was a lot easier to get the lenses off than the two BMWs I've done.
