Tools needed:

SAFETY GLASSES
Dremel tool or other rotary tool.
1 cut shaft bit
Fiber-cut off wheels 1 inch 4 of them
1/2" Sanding drum 4 of them
1/4" sanding drum 4 of them
permatex ultra black rtv silicone 2 squeeze tubes.
clear silicone (optional)
Shop Vac, Compressor for blowing dust off lights.
8- #8, 1 1/4inch Phillips/flat screw head bolts (drawer/cabinet handle bolts).
9/64 drill bit
13/16 drill bit
Power drill
1 sharpie
1 set of extra headlights. you can sell the extra set after done the retrofit.

Just need to check my drill bits and get some #8 screws.

I'll be baking the headlights this afternoon and break them apart. Probably paint them today too, if I have time

I'll be ordering the parts for the projectors sometime the end of this week. I had a little bill pop up so I needed to slow down a bit

Re: Jeff's Retrofit Thread

What are you using to paint them?

Matte Black Krylon Fusion for Plastics

Re: Jeff's Retrofit Thread

Sweet. I'm debating on whether do paint mine myself or to have them done by my buddy who does bodywork.

Re: Jeff's Retrofit Thread

I'd rate doing the headlights being a 3/10 for difficulty. Seriously!

If a buddy of mine can do it you can do it. He's not mechanically inclined

Re: Jeff's Retrofit Thread

I'll see if I have some dark green Krylon at work. Might start my build soon!
