Modding headlights
So i finally am getting my V2 bumper painting and want to get my headlights housing painted with the ironman and audi led strip, however I don't have the tool to do it myself, plus im nervous about my ability.
I live in near philly pa, do you know anybody who does this service in the md,pa,nj area? Our any of you guys who live locally willing to do it. I don't know if I'm putting this in the right forum topic sorry mods.

Try posting in the local state thread, will have better luck that way, or in local club forums.
Opening and painting the headlights is not hard. Just need an oven to bake them in, and patience. I've opened up many headlights and done a few retro fits, after reading and researching lol I did this bc I once paid someone local who had a great portfolio and decent prices...only to get sub par work done on both of my cars I dropped off. After that I decided to do it myself and the money saved was worth it, especially bc you're making sure everything is done to your liking.

All you need is an oven, flathead and philips screwdrivers, and paint.
For attaching dumb LED strips, you'll need LEDs that can withstand higher temps, glue, and splice connectors.
It's not rocket science. You can't mess anything up if you take your time and are careful with everything.
