Upgraded to Morimoto XB35's (6000K) and would like to upgraded to these lenses as well. I'm unclear on how to do this. It's suggested that the headlight units need to be "baked", I'm assuming this to gain entry into the housing?

Is there a comprehensive how-to somewhere?

Any guidance is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

 

Below is a link to a thorough walk thru made by Ghozt aka Dan. Its fairly simple to bake them open and then once your have them open, the projector is held on by 4 screws. Remove those then take the projector out. The lens bracket is held on by 3 or 4 screws and you take that off. After that, you need to press in on the 3 tabs holding the lens in. Be careful not too put too much pressure on it or else they will break. Once you have the lens out, the black series lens should pop in. If it doesn't completely fit (it should) then you will need to add a spacer that TRS provides when buying.

Outstanding. Thanks!

 

Just some advice as someone that went through the process:

1. Make sure your oven is large enough to handle the job, and put down aluminum foil or crumpled aluminum foil as a buffer between the hot metal and your headlight assembly.
   I had a few extruding bits of my headlight melted because they were too close to the heating coils and the hot metal grills started melted into my housing.
2. Be careful when prying the plastic tabs holding the projector lens out and have superglue ready in case anything happens.
   I accidentally broke the bottom tab on both of my lens holders.
   In retrospect, I should have went for the upper tabs instead of what I think are the more-weight bearing tabs at the bottom.
3. Clean your hands so you don't have oily smudgy finger prints everywhere.
4. Take your time.

 

To add to #3, I recommend using a microfiber cloth when handling the projector lens to prevent finger prints or oil getting on the lens in the first place and to wipe off any dust or sediment that may have gotten on it from taking apart the headlight.

Ideally when taking it apart you'll want 2 flat head screw drivers, one to place to start prying and hold so that the headlight doesn't come back together, then the other to start prying further along the edge.

When removing the actual lens, I found it best to remove it as soon as possible while the plastic was still mostly warm and pliable to prevent breaking. I broke one tab before and I had to replace the lens holder since the lens didn't sit securely in it anymore.
