I was wondering has anyone successfully separated the front headlamp glass from the headlamp unit
If so is there any special way to do this
thanks

2 ways really. The most simple is to bake the headlights in the oven for 10 to 20 mins at around 200 degrees. I'd check every couple of mins after 10 to see if the seal has become softened enough. Make sure your wearing oven gloves! The other option and the one I used (my oven was too small to fit the headlights in) is to use a heat gun with a funnelled head fitting and work your way round the headlights increasing the heat as deemed necassary. Took about 10 mins and used a spatulas to help break the seal. Before you put them back together just reheat the sealent up again.

Just make sure before you put them back together you've not left any finger prints on the inside of the lense! Made that mistake before myself when splitting an old x5's lights to remove the orange reflectors.

Should be a fairly simple job but I'd make sure you take your time as rushing it can make it more stressful than necassary!! Range Rover Sport HSE and for a bit of weekend fun a S1 Lotus Elise with a few track biased additions!

i did the same thing on my X5

Im seriously thinking of doing this to change the amber reflectors. Was thinking of removing reflector then getting black vinyl stuck over them . What do you guys think???

It would work but not sure how OEM it'd look. For the sake of £80 I'd order a set of clear or smoked reflectors off the fella in the link below

Think i might just cover the reflector from outside with some black vinyl ady done it, it looks alright, well better than the amber.

Nah done it and it looks,well not good it's ok from a certain angle but others you still see the amber.Also tried the tint spray which works really well but still looks rubbish(see pic)

I split it in the end,replaced with clear ones from Mike and put halos as DRL's in at the same time

Loving the halo's You've got me fancying installing those on mine now as well!! Range Rover Sport HSE and for a bit of weekend fun a S1 Lotus Elise with a few track biased additions!

Cheers,they are LED's it does'nt really show in the picture,very close,if not my favourite mod. Gets plenty of looks off other RRS drivers

To much like BMW for my liking, if I wanted that then would have stuck with the X5?
But if someone could fit 51 individual led's into the pattern in the housing, that would be some daylight running lense, thinking of trying it, but total 102 led's have to think of power, drilling etc.
What do you think?
You see the pattern between side light and full light?

You see the individual Led's on mine,its just the camera on the I phone stuggles with the light,thats why it looks like one ring of light.
Just sank in what and where you meant.

Contact phil@ca-at.co.uk regarding the Halo LED kit (They will have to import a pair of 106mm & 120mm Orion v2 Lites)

The internals (after splitting) just need to be sprayed matt black
No effect on the lights at all, you do not paint the reflectors

The clear side reflectors can be sourced from Mike Stefan (USA member) and a link to his mod canbe found here
