It was unfortunate the member had this kind of work done for a hefty price tag on a new car. He was able to live with it until one of his LED DRLs stopped working. Fortunately for him, TLF accepted the fact their work was crap and refunded his money. Our member deserved better and get what he paid good money for. Let's see what we can do for him.

The Work
Opened up and reflector removed


Bummer, doesn't fit

Let's make the hole bigger

And need to cut off this corner mount

Fits now after a little trimming


Since there was no room behind the headlights on the car, I wanted to put the ballasts inside the headlight so it was all one unit. And it all fit with just a tiny amount of trimming!


The shrouds needed a lot of trimming so I wanted to try something new. Traced out the shroud onto a piece of construction paper


Taped it onto the projector and cut out the pattern with a razor blade


See where adjustments needed to be made and transferred it to another paper shroud

Repeated until I got the right shape

Attached paper to actual shroud and scored it with a razor blade following the line of the paper shroud. Then traced the score with a marker to see where I needed to cut



Success!

Repeat for the other headlight and seal them up!
