Light Upgrades

[VB712]

I have received the parts that I ordered and everything seems in order. With finals done I should be able to start working on the headlights soon. I'm planning on repainting the bezel and the low beam reflector bowl. Will Duplicolor paint work well for this? (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00407RSNG/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER)


Here are the parts I've gotten:




Idea of how I want to paint them:

The obnoxious 194 bulbs that were free:

What 194 bulbs are you using in your license plate lights? Are they canbus?

These are the bulbs I got:

They look like they should be CANBUS but I don't see anything that says so. The bulbs in mine were just a standard 194 incandescent bulb.

Thanks, I already have the stuff for retrofitting projectors though. Do the LED bulbs work well for fixing the poor output of the lights? Maybe I could use some for the fog lights.

This weekend I got the headlight assemblies opened. There were a lot of conflicting opinions on bake time that I found but in the end I found JJ's suggestion from another forum post worked perfectly. First took abut and hour an 40 minutes as I was figuring out how to open them. Second I baked at 250F for 15 minutes and put it in 2 more time for about 8 minutes each time, only took 50 minutes to open.

Should have went with the FluxBeam-X bulbs instead of the much older FluxBeam bulbs.

Forgot to post an update. Finally got the headlights painted and cleared, projectors installed, halos and demon eyes installed, put in the wiring harness and completed all the wiring. A few other things have changed too. Here's some final pics.

You gotta give PB some money if you really want us to see your pics
