Halos
First post here...so I hope I don't screw this up.
I did my halos last weekend. Small oven so I used the cardboard box & heat gun. Temp ramped up to 210F over 20 minutes and no problem pulling the lights apart. I was dreading this part, put it was a piece of cake. I'm an old fart, so I like chrome. I left my housings chrome, but painted the shrouds black. I used Morimoto 90 mm XB halos. I also used a dremel tool to machine out the shrouds so the halos would sit flat inside the groove and not on top. Not sure if this was worth it in the end, but they do sit nicely inside the groove. I have a 2013 Z and in Canada, the DRL's are the vertical LED strip lights in the bumper. I wired the halos to these, so that they also run as DRL's. When the HID's come on at night, the DRL's shut off. You can't see the halos around the HID's anyhow, so no biggy.
I have seven pics attached, but can't figure out how to imbed them in the post, so you'll have to click on them.
Please let me know if this post is OK, as I would like to post more!
Toodles from Canada!
