Well I finally started my quad headlights retrofit ...
I got them opened without having to bake them ... what I did was put them out in the sun for about 20 minutes since it was almost 100 yesterday ... while one of them was in the sun I was using the heat gun to start prying them open .. took me about 5 minutes each to get them open ..
Then I used Easy Off oven cleaner to remove the chrome from the bezels ... it took 5 minutes for the chrome plating to completely dissolve and it left a nice glossy black finish ...
I then used a dremel with a wire brush tip to clean up the permaseal left behind to make it easier to add new butyl to close them up ....
I am going to order some bi-led projectors and some small led chips to put in the marker area for the blinkers... the stock corner blinkers I am going to try and use that area for DRLs using the dedicated harness that I got from Grim ....
Don't know if I want to color match them or leave them black and paint the projector shrouds the color of my truck ...the side marker is going to be black with the leds behind them ...
In the high beam area I am probably going to use another projector or some led pods, still not sure ...
I might also put an led strip across the bottom to go along with the drls and probably tying them into the blinkers ... still deciding what to do ...
here are some pictures ...
