EDIT: post made by Bijan, sorry for the comments

Thanks to Bijan for helpin me out, it turned out better than I thought it would. I was up all night thinking about him.

I think it matches my black GLE very well. Very "stealth" appearance. Igor can shove it.

 

Why would you care what Igor thinks?

 

He called me a bish...

 

Looking good.

 

Nice ride, looks dope!

 

Those headlights flow very well with the car

It looks really good, I'm planning to get mine done soon as I scrouge up some cash to get AE lights

WTF? Paint only cost $3.99 -- the hell are you talkin about?

 

I agree, the clears upfront stood out more. The AE versions make your car look sooooo clean.
The set up you have is Fawking Dope!

LoL- looks tight.

 

uhh, away message much?

nice man...your car looks hot

 

Your whole car looks nice.

 

Nice ride! Some chrome side mirrors (cefiro a33) would look so sweet. S4 style.

Check out Studmans write up for more indepth info

1) Open the oven and move the rack to the lowest position.
2) Warm up the oven to 250 degrees.
3) Remove all light bulbs from the headlight.
4) Remove the ballast from the housing.
5) Remove the 3 small screws around the edge of the housing where the clear meets the black.
6) Wet a bath towel and ring out all excess water.
7) Place the towel on a cookie sheet with the excess hanging off the side.
8) Place the headlight on the towel with the clear side towards the cookie sheet.
9) Wrap the wet towel around the headlight. You should end up with 2 layers (the ends) of the towel where the clear part of the housing is.
10) Put the cookie sheet in the oven and bake at 250 degrees for 35 minutes.
11) Remove from the oven.
12) Remove the towel and light from the cookie sheet.
13) Un-wrap the towel from the headlight.
14) Wipe off the condensation from the headlight.
15) Using a regular-sized flat-headed screwdriver (or old-school butter knife that you don't want), pry the black surrounds away from the clear lens. You'll almost think that you are breaking it, but it's flexible enough not to break unless you put alot of force on it. Start at the bottom of the light (if it were mounted on the car) and work towards the hi-beam side. The corner-light side will be last.
16) After you have pried all the little tabs out, gently but firmly pull the clear cover away from the black backing. Pull the pieces apart as if you were peeling apart 2 pieces of bread on a sandwhich.
17) When you get to the corner-light side, put the corner-light side downward. Pull the hi-beam side's ends apart from each other, as if you were "splitting a wig". The corner-light end will come apart with little-to-no hassle.

Reinstallation instructions should be the exact reverse, but I haven't made it that far, so I can't say that they really are.

personally, i cooked the lights for 25 minutes and it was more than plenty, they came apart easily.
good luck

 

so to put them back you cook them again or no?

 

yeah, to put them back, put the headlight back together as much as you can, and but it in the oven again for about 15 minutes, same temp. and then take it out and push it together as hard as you can, making sure it seals up good.

 

Now if you can get some 2k2 Heads :-) Looks slick btw. Welcome to the club!

 

AE club of ATL

 

Awsome, your car is sick!!!!!! I like the stance of your drop too, its more aggresive lookin than most..... what set-up do you have?

 

thanks, i have teins

 

oh, thats it. Ummmm it looked different, looks kinda lower in the front. Or is it just the pics

 

yeah, the car is sitting on somewhat of a slant, making the front look lower
