no not really do you have to take the headlight apart? Idk if I wanna keep this set and have to work on them for the amount I paid for.

 

I think you would but honestly I'm not sure. I didn't take a close enough look at mine when I got them but I'm going to have them apart to work on them anyway. Although, I'm definitely not ripping apart my stock headlights just for the wiring so I may run into a problem there. If it's not an easy swap from the stock headlights to these I'll have to see what my options are. I at least want to change out the turn signal and side marker connectors since the ones that came on these are POS.

I need to take a closer look in person to know what I'm dealing with. I won't really know until I start working on mine.

Plan on starting the work on mine over Easter weekend, so two weeks.

 

Those damn connectors are the main reason I finally got fed up and sent them back. I was going to swap over the harness from my factory assemblies but it looked like the lense had to be taken off, chancing ruining them. I really dont mind projects but similar to what xxtheshockerxx said, I felt like after spending $150, I really shouldnt have to! Props to 06mistreSS for taking the initiative to make them right! Hope they turn out man!

 

Thanks I really hope they do too!

I'm not able to look at or work on them right now so I don't exactly know what I have to do and/or what my options are regarding the wiring/connectors. I'll give an update when I get started on them, which should be in about two weeks.

 

I ordered a roll of the butyl rubber glue from TRS ($21 shipped) and that shipped today.

So, I'm now toying around with the idea of getting a nice pair of donor stock OEM headlights off a Monte Carlo or Impala, taking those apart and using their back housing, reflectors and wiring harness for this project. I can then take the black bezel (with clear reflector) and lens from these new headlights and swap them to the donor OEM pair so I have the best of both worlds; a stock OEM rear housing and wiring harness along with the look I want.

 

i also had problems with my connecters. pain in the butt for sure. i just sealed with clear silicone no water or vapor yet. fingers crossed!

 

Well good news. The seller on ebay is sending me another set and didn't say he needed my other set. So I may have an extra set to mess with

 

That's good to hear! Hope this pair doesn't give you any problems. I just want to get to working on mine already! I should be able to start next weekend. The car is coming out of storage one of the next three weekends.

 

Well if all goes well I will have an extra set to mess with too. I might paint the rings red

 

Good luck Zach. I think either red rings or the entire bezel red would look sweet.

I feel bad dragging this out forever but I'm unable to physically do anything with this project right now. This Friday will be my search day for a donor stock pair as I'm back and have that day off from work, so I'll give an actual update on Friday.
