I'm sure many of you guys had done this mod. I want to do it as well, but I'd like to know how many of you guys were successful on this mod.

 

I was so hesitant about this, because I've never put anything but food in my oven. I bought a broken headlight from an org member(broken tab). I tested that one out and it came out perfect so I went ahead I did mine.

Check the sig...

edit: it definitely made the max look more aggressive, check out my cardomain page, we have pretty much the same car, with the exception of the interior

 

Perfect, I took my time and used a heat gun, took along time but it was worth it. I posted a write up a while back

 

Your car looks sooooo much sexier with those AE lights. I am definetly going for the look that you have. .

 

check out the close up of the pics on my cardomain site, you'll not I left some of the headlight chrome to make it look exactly like the AE lights, some please decide to smoke this part also.

 

mine are still apart, and everything seems to be going smoothly, im doing alot of customizing on mine tho so its taking a while.

 

Me and my friend did his 00 and they turned out nice.

 

I have a messed up one that I'll sell super-cheap (like $25) if you want one to practice on......the back is melted (wife turned up the oven without knowing there was a headlight in there and without telling me) doh!

 

Cool. Including shipping? Whats ya paypal?

Believe it or not. I have a friend who wants to trade me his 2k3 headlights for mine and plus $200 cash. But I can't get the 2k3 lights cuz of the stupid crack heads who steal headlights URRGGGG
So I gotta go the AE route.

And for the people that has no clue what i'm talking about. AE headlights are the Anniversary Edition headlights. Since they cost $200, what many of us here do is split open our stock headlights, and outline the inside housing black to make it look like the AE headlights. Costs = Free.

 

yeah....$25 shipped (btw, I will ship cheapest way unless you want to add some $$ for faster shipping).....

I too am doing this . I am very patient & have no problem taking my time to complete this & pla
n on spending two different sundays to complete . The one question I have is whatever epoxy is holding the lights together do you need to have more or when you are ready to put them back together you just heat um up again & reuse the epoxy that was allready on the housing??

 

Tell your friend I will trade him my 00 headlights with the AE mod for his 2003 HIDS plus $200 cash anytime he wants to..

 

I have a practice light too that I used, it has a broken tab...if someone wants it shoot me a PM ($25)

 

I will take it $25 shipped. Private message me your paypal account info so I can pay you asap.

 

PayPal payment sent.

one more Q. Couldn't you use a little paint thinner to remove the chrome paint, or would that damage the black paint under the chrome?

 

This was a total pain in the butt for me!!

 

How long did this take you to do? And was the finished product worth it?

 

I don't have the cojones to do this mod... too chicken. But one day I may have to...

 

did it on mine ... check the sig, One side fogged up after a car wash so i had to redo that one and put new silicone in. I think it was because i didnt let them dry those few hours and i just put them in right after i did em. Patience is key for this mod.

 

doing this mod as we speak. What can i use to clean the lense? u know from hazing and yellowing? i hear sanding it then some plastic polish would be fine?

 

i over baked mine and melted the tabs the first time... my oven is old....

i would highly suggest wrapping the headlight in a towel and wet the towel.. i used the steam from the towel to loosent the headlight... this ensures that u dont melt anything
