Just make sure to buy another lens or two as a backup. The dremel is a little tricky sometimes.

 

yup, when Don did mine, he used a dremel. i actually dont know of anything else you could use.

 

anyone wanna pm me on how to get the headlight out.... i know, touchy subject and everything... just thought i would ask.... i gotta fix the damage i did on just takin out 2 screws on the top and pullin like crazy... i bent something... mayb my data dot bracket or something

 

Well im not telling u exactly but u gotta pull it by some side first, anyways back to the thread i did not put a lens in it i jus ordered a silver bulb and left it without looks very nice and clean and the blinkers are bright ill post pics when im finished with the bulbs i know someone else did it also on the org.

 

I used a cutting drill bit on my Dremel. As mentioned, buy a spare lens. I messed the first one up by cutting it a little too small.

 

Bought a 20 dollar Dremel tool kit at Target, 2 malibu lights at Home Depot for $3.50. After removing the amber lens out of the turn signal I traced it down with some permanent marker ontop of the Malibu lens light. I cut out the almost perfect round clear lens out of the Malibu light and placed it inside my HID housings. Then it was back to the oven. Funny thing is, I had my HIDs for like 3 months or more now, and I still have not installed them :P But sometime this coming week I have to- I have way too much condensation in my passenger OEM AE headlight.

 

what you do is drill a 1/2" hole in the lense on the outside. Then use the sanding tool on a dremel to cut it out. Took me 5 mins for both lenses

 

Yup, I used -ZIPPIN-'s dremel to cut mine and it came out really good. And that was the first time I had ever used one before. heh heh

 

leaving no lense in their is asking for a ticket and

 

Yeah , i like the look of it but no reflector is highly illegal

 

If you're pulling w/o taking out some screws, I wouldn't be doing that. PM the org member here who knows how to (Goldmaxnyc, I think). I don't know if you want to do it the way I know how it -- it's a huge pain in the a$$, and very time consuming.

I used a Dremel for the lens as well, using the method blackbird described.
