its easy. yours are made up of about 5 pieces on each light unlike the 3 pieces on the older ones. You can change the leds on the top corner and put a ccfl behind the projector shroud to glow a different color

my biggest concern is making sure they are water tight again. i would be willing to pay and help at the same time if you really can assure me that we can get them perfectly sealed again

would blacking them out affect the output any?

the projector needs no reflector. Only light lost is up top when you black the reflector out but i believe that is the park or foglight so not much light lost. additional beetle tape can be put in to help seal em. time down depends on what color and mods you want done

demon eyes is leds in the actual projector so when the lights are off the projector seems to glow. YOur projector shroud is a transparent plastic. You can paint parts of it and leave others not painted and put a light behind it when lit up only parts glow. that is called the ironman mod

Where does it say May 12? I see on the vid data 2012 6 23. Not sure how the ipad works with this app, I know he has a data analysis for Ipad but I dont think you can use an Ipad to record.

Its a very nice app for the money. You can also add a bluetooth obdII reader and add brake, throttle and other data from the ecu. I need to add sectors when I walk the course and then I can break down a better "theoretical" best lap time.

The phone ran hot sat. and shut down in the afternoon. With it being 98, the phone mounted in the front windshield and the camera and gps running along with the app it hit the max temp limit.
