Where can I get this lense?


Does it come already cut? I want it precut because I don't have time to cut it myself.

If not, I'll just buy the one that Phil (K Pazzo 6) got. There's a link on his page.

Thanks guys!

Those are not turn signal lenses, the amber ones are just removed. No need for a lense.

Oh... ok thanks!

Where can I buy a lense? I can't find the link on Phil's page anymore.

Heh, that's my headlight. There is no lense - the orange lens was taken out and nothing replaced it.

As far as where you can get a lense, look up Tap Plastics in Norcal. They are the people who can make a set of custom lenses for you for ~$20 shipped.

Or you can buy the plastic floodlights from home depot and use a dremel to cut them out and shape them to size. That's what alot of people have done.

Not tryin to be an a** studman...Home Depot doesn't sell plastic flood lights (I work in Electrical) Anything with a lens that resembles that one is going to be a light bulb (PAR Bulbs will do best, a PAR16 may even be a perfect fit :-?). Unless you go with a T type flood (the tube halogens) which will have a glass lense enclosing the bulb (they're all glass due to the emmense amount of heat generated by T hallogens')...but...cutting glass, especially in the manner you plan on doing it, will only lead to bloody fingers and much cussing (dremels like to cut in the opposite way that you want them too, and unless you know how to build a jig...) A piece of plexi or even a plastic lense from troffer lighting (the 2x2 or 2x4 flourecents used in dropped ceilings) might work...the plexi will be easier to work with. All in all, I think LithiuMax had the cheapest way as well as the best end result.

Studman is exactly right. They might be the par 16, plastic lens you have to take off and it is slightly larger.

Studman, myself and many others have bought these plastic lights from Home Depot. I know there are 2 stores in my town and only 1 store carried them. They are made by Malibu and are found in the outside lighting area. A pic of mine:

That sounds good Jay. Thank you in advance. I'll find out some way to repay you for helping me out.
BTW I ordered my DDE's today. Did you use a heat gun to open your headlights or did you put 'em in the oven? Just curious.

Also if you want to paint your headlights black like Phil did, I'll buy the paint!
That might take too long though. Hmmm..

Use the oven. The heatgun risks melting pieces of the headlight and isn't recommended by Matt @ Umnitza either. The oven used properly works great.

housecor is correct. i used the oven as well. some ppl here have used the heat gun. too scary for me to use it though.

yea i have thought of painting them black as well.

housecor,

i am going to open them again. do you think i will need more of the grey sealant??

00MaxSE

iTrader: (25)

Oh alright. For some reason I thought using the oven was more risky than the heat gun.

00MaxSE,

I've opened mine using housecors instructions. Initally i was very skeptical, but it works.

Just make sure you DON't put your oven to BROIL !..it should be set to "bake" so the bottom oven filament heats and not the top.

PoLo

iTrader: (7)

yeah, plus broil dries it up too much, giving it a bad taste...bake keeps the extra juices in there....might wanna throw some white wine to really marinate it....don't forget salt....

Sounds like I found my meal for thanks giving.. HID headlights.... tasty.

I do know home depot sells malibu, that was not in question. You are refering to a low voltage landscape light, I was thinking of regular motion/security floodlights.
I was just trying to help not critisize.

*this is a full time job that is flexible enough for me to go to college at the same time, so don't worry, i dont plan on keeping it :-p
