Yeah so I had a Dremel and the damn tip of it wouldn't act right...so I had to use my hands. Wait that didn't come out right...neither did that.
But My Dremel failed and I had to resort to using hand power. I got a pair of smal grip pliers, a big head pair of angled pliers, and a small pair of regular anlged pliers. These all played they're own part in the metal fabrication of the headlight bucket. The grip pliers tore into the bucket (due to the squared corners) and the big pliers tore big pieces of the bucket away as I needed. The small pair of pliers took care of the small curled pieces.
The bucket was even warped a little bit from all of the grown man I was putting on it but still fit the shape of the headlight with a little massaging.
AGAIN...WHAT YOU WANT TO DO IS MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ENOUGH BUCKET LEFT TO HOLD THE HEADLIGHT...FIT THE SPRING...AND BE AIMED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Once I got everything in place and cut that driverside headlight on for the first time into my backyard...man...I almost shed a tear (in my Jim Carrey crying face). It popped on, warmed up, and even when I flashed the higbeam (into one side...
) the selenoid flicked and highbeams were amazing! I wired up the other side and now have to flick the highbeams twice for high...twice again THEN cut them off and back on for regular lighting...yea I know so I just don't cut the damn things on. But The Retrofit Source said it could be my relay and they would look into it so no biggie.
The only issue I've had was my highbeam light staying on...ok who cares. I do but egh, the wiring, headlights, and wiring harnesses are all at a safe temp and working fine. The bulbs are at 35 watts so nothing is really too hot.
And just think...Im so behind. Most of you guys have running *ss motors, paint, fram offs, brand new rubber you just bought. And all you need now is to upgrade your headlights. I myself have the headlights...and damn near need a new car lmao...heck, my car hasn't run in a few months actually. But I'm working on a few other things for it. Mainly my music. Been thinking about two or maybe even four Hertz component sets...just don't want to cut into anything sacrificing the original interior.
