Where'd you get this done? Or how? Last I read people were baking the headlight assemblies in the oven and melting them. LOL By the way...

Here's my story:
Once you buy the auction, he orders the lights, heats the glue on the covers to seperate them, paints them to the color you want, and then reseals them. The paint match and quality is great, but the seal job is sloppy (although not seen when installed), and it took 8 weeks for me to get them (he was taking his sweet time). He did mention that he baked them for awhile. Also shipping less than to be desired, poorly packed and one on the lights had 2 x broken tangs. I was able to glue one of them, but the other wouldn't hold, so I had to tie it up with wire.
Overall I'm happy, but it was a miserable 10 week project.

I want to make one 11 sec pass at my track before I get banned for having the vert and not installing a roll cage.
