Sorry mang, I have never cracked open a set of xB headlights.

Jeff just did his last weekend and it was pretty easy. He didn't have any troubles. What I recall is 250 degrees in the oven for 10 minutes. Something like that. Don't forget to use hot pads!

I will try to ask him later, but I make no promises.

 

[dredge38]

ive done it also id constantly be checking on them like every other minute to make sure they dont melt but ya 250 or less and check them aft 3 to 4 minutes until they come apart

 

[scionbox123]

so do they just fall apart or you have to pull them apart

 

[dredge38]

i had to pull and pry mine apart, i didnt want to leave them in to long and risk melting them. I also used a flat head screwdriver to help with prying them apart.

 

[short bus]

i used the hammer & pop out worked great {"ding" oven} meatloafs done

 

[dredge38]

i tried the brake method first, not so good could never get the little orange tabs out. so i baked them

 

[boxd_up]

Yeah he sat there "perched" on the chair the entire time it was in there. I've never seen him give the oven that much attention!

Mine are next up, this weekend. YAY

USE YOUR OWN DISCRETION.USE SAFTEY FIRST.


Take off the grill, bumper, headlight, wire harness, w/ appropriate tools. 10mm socket/wrench, ext. , philips & small flathead screwdriver.

I went ahead and took out the Projectors, LED, but not the HALO's (just to see how things are.)

Prepare for the oven

In the Oven, 250 F for 5-7 min. (gauge temp. & min.) Easyoff oven cleaner optional j/k I know...it's dirty.

Pull apart Lens/cover w/ your fingers. (do not use sharp object) Be patience and work it. If need be, Re-heat in the oven to soften the seal.

Clean out/off old seal.
Use clear or black waterproof/resistant silicone sealer. (original seal is Black)
Apply seal and run a good bead. Clean off excess run off w/ finger & wipe clean.

After putting the Lens/Cover back on, check the contact w/ Lens and the housing that it sit's properly. I put the housing under a couch cushion, and I added some weight to it so that the Lens/Cover will set firmly on the housing. (Cure time depend's on the product.)

Re-assemble Projectors and LED's

Put everything back as it should, and there ya go!

Hope this helps in some way.

What'd you guys use to reseal the lights?

 

[scionbox123]

all i did was put in back in the oven for 5 minutes take it out and squeeze it together and hug it to sleep

 

[DTRAIN619]

^^^^^

Same as above without the hugging part! Also ran a bead of RTV just to be on the safe side.
