use a heatgun to soften up the plastic in the back...DO NOT point the heatgun directly to the amber or clear lens! its gonna ruin them! using a small screw driver pry it over and work your way around it. If you do it too fast, you WILL crack the lens. Good luck!

PS: OVEN WILL NOT WORK! YOU WILL FCK EM UP!

2006 White LED front reflectors

Has anybody seen LED front reflectors for 2006+? I am looking for white LED, maybe with carbon fiber backing, not amber...I saw some on eBay that were 05+ but they were blue LED. Does anyone have any experience with how the blue looks? I wouldnt mind going that route as long as it matched the xenon look of my stock headlights.

any thoughts on where I can find these?

thanks!!

+1

$55 per reflector isn't bad. Figure parts going into the reflector are kept around $10-15 depending on what is used, plus the tools he had to purchase for the job. Then there is his time and the most important of all in any project, R&D.

If I was incapable of doing this myself, I would buy from him in a heartbeat.

Wow, looks great. If you ask me, you probably aren't charging enough.
