Here the Parking Lamps at night


Random angle to show the clearance for the D2S projectors.



Wow those came out looking great. I expected them to be nice coming from you. You didn't let me down. Haha

210* for 10 minutes. Any hotter and the corner assembly not lenses will start to melt. Used a small pocket screw driver on the lower inside corner. Got it to start seperating then back in the oven for 8 minutes at 215*. I did this until in was able to pull the lenses of. Each corner took about an hour

The housing will begin to destort around 235*
