I hear retro shop 0212353 has damn good customer service even if you aren't a customer....

After these headlights get done, I'm going to him after. Hardest part by far is getting the headlights apart. Sweating my ass off.

Speaking of which, I just got my driver side headlight apart.

I'm tired of this bs

Oh man........those TYCs are a LOT easier to open over the OEMs. Don't get me started on the glue removal on the OEMs............I hate 07-08s.

 

[TheMaddog]

Really? I would imagine they would be the same if anything.

the glue used on the TYCs is different than OEM. OEM is much harder, more along the lines of a permasealed setup. Huge difference. I can get them both open in about the same amount of time, but the glue cleanup - 10 minutes (TYC) vs 60-90 minutes PER light on an OEM.

that sucks, and its rediculous tht it takes a hour to clean up 1

So you are starting to appreciate what JJ charges to do a set of lights now? LOL

The second pair wasn't much better!

Next set I'll do will be for a Gen 2 (Dad's truck). Small little square housing, should be far easier than the HUGE 50 sq miles of contact the Gen 4s have.

I'll be honest, the 2nd gens aren't horrible - but they housings are THIN.

Ummm. Shrouds are small as hell, any clue or help on how to make them not show chrome?

replace with bigger ones.

Those small ones just don't belong in those lights. Sorry man. I think I have sold 1 (yes, 1) set of the 06-08s with those small shrouds. Get the bigguns!

If you are interested - let me know, I guarantee I can get a better price on them vs anywhere you look.

 

[TheMaddog]

How does the big one work? Do the completely cover the projector?
