Cutting out the lenses!

[Wildfire]

Due to a small leak in my Silicone/Sikaflex the diffuser inside my offside headlight has dropped off inside the light unit.

So I need to replace both the light units so they remain in pairs.

1). Where do I get the headlight units from?

2). I'm going to have to cut out the lenses, change the lights and then sikaflex them back in. How does one do this? I take it I can just cut out he lenses and not the whole pods?

Cheers

Looks like I have to cut out the whole pod!

Get 7" lenses/pods

I've got HIDs in the car already Del, and the old monetary funds don't allow for an upgrade at the moment.

What is the size for the standard headlights?

Its not a hideous job taking the pods out Wildfire. Just a bit time consuming getting all the old sealant out and letting the new stuff go off overnight before you clean things up properly.
The original headlights are 5" I believe.

Well the car will be coming off the road for a few months whilst I get the work done, and maybe clean a few other things up, carpets, geo setup, and a few minor bits.

I may be looking to fit a new cam, as it's clattering for a few seconds on start up. So money saved doing the lights by myself will go towards that.

They're pretty good now with the HIDs.

I would suggest MC2 but have a feeling that not for a 4x .... Speak to Rob

I think the MC2 and stealth are not suitable for the car. I was thinking 218 or MC1, if and when I have the money.
