The headlights and lens have been a hobby for the most part for the past few years. I have my real job that comes first. I may have to look into turning this into more of a business though as it is growing.
Look around eBay and see if any of the Halos offered suit what you are looking for. I may be able to do a set in your color more at my leisure then just do a core swap out. The labor will probably remian in the 275. range then figure lens and if you plan on changing color. It can add up quickly though... |
Thanks for the advise,
It doesn't sound like cleaning the inside going to likely work. |

What were the sizes you used in the pics? Is there a decent vendor that sells different halo sizes?
I made backing plates for both rings, attached to the bezels then glue the rings to the backing plate. A lot of work. The ones from Germany fit much better and look like they may mount directly to the bezel and the size is closely proportional to the size opening of the low and high beam openings. There's several vendors on Bay but I haven't looked into most of them. Prices range from 75. to 300. so the quality probably enters the picture. |

It bugged me so bad (my buddies knew it so they constantly busted my balls)I had to do something. If the tube thing scares you just try using compressed air past the lights. If it is just dust that may actually work.

I wonder if the bezel can just be skinned with carbon from a diy kit? |

I too was interested in carbon fiber but I heard that the carbon looks like its just black paint unless your up real close. anyone seen them in real life?
I wonder if the bezel can just be skinned with carbon from a diy kit? I have also had them hydro carbonned and while they looked real good it wasn't great. Mine are carbon and in the bright sun or within about 10' you can tell they are real carbon. Any further away and they do tend to appear just black. http://i342.photobucket.com/albums/o...g/IMG_4800.jpg |
How did you lay the carbon with a vacuum bag or a wet lay up? I love that look but they are crazy expensive.
How much would you charge for a set of lights I could work on myself? They wouldn't have to match and I could replace the lens myself after I lay carbon on them. |
Interesting you'd ask about DIY. I have been rolling that around in my head for the past weeks to offer a set of lights in need of rehab along with a set of new lens. Let me see what I can work up that would make sense.
On the layup I have did the wet layup, PrePreg and vaccuum infusion. The wet layup was by far the most costly in terms of waste and labor. Just a nasty job. The vaccuum infusion was by far the most cost effective but disastrous in not being able to really see what you're doing. Most materials it's not a problem as you'd have gelcoat or non bias materials you're working with. The prepreg was best but way more expensive. It conformed right to the shape and keeping the matrial on bias was not problem. Get it placed and set in the oven or sun for a few minutes and you're done. It made for a nice overlay then you could clear it to your personal prefference.

Didn't mean to scare you from trying it. Just need to be careful. I would definately use air only first and see what results that produces and go from there.
Let me know if you get a Victory red right side |
