DIY Headlight CAF

[Tunst]

This is just a work in progress, im in no rush to finish it and its just something im doing out of sheer boredom!


Anyway..

Take 1 knackered xenon..

Then split it into pieces..

Rooting around the shed I found an old CAF from my old air box...

Fits on there perfectly! I will replace the crappy hose type stuff for something better eventually... but it may only be temp as it is rather small...

Now I havnt actually got that far tbh as I need to get all the parts I need...

So atm I am left with this...

Il update this as and when I sort things out if anyone is actually interested

I'm interested as I'm doing the same thing with a PH1

Is it easy to take apart? i'm looking at spraying the inside of the headlight but i've not seen many apart yet

The glue on this took some heating up tbh, even then it was still a ball ache to pull apart! I used a mixture of Oven and Hair Dryer..

I don't think you have enough Xbox 360 controllers.

Cool little project! You should put the grey insert back in, that doesn't block the holes? Look better too!

Why?

Here's mine just to give you a idea of how it could look if you was to keep the use of your xenon headlight at the same time, I'm currently researching how to make moulds for it as i've been asked by others if i'd do them one in fibreglass.

I would pay decent money for one of these!! Wish I had the time and know how to do this sort of stuff!

Any chance you can throw up a guide on how to split the headlights?

^ there's no set guide on how to split a headlight really.

You could cut the lens off close to the bond area and replace it with a new one (that's if Renault or someone sells them), Or the way i done mine was take out all bulbs/igniters/power packs and put boiling hot water from a kettle into a bucket and leave the edges in the water until the plastic gets soft and start prying it off bit by bit.
