Adam - at the end I had to retake your blue (anodizing) along with Jeff's Vivo. There were just not... not quite, not quite perfect enough... let's just say. New kit done finally... and I think you'll freak out when you see them (Jeff Vivo as well loll). In fact a few of my mates here saw them on the workbench and all went absolutely bunker on that blue. You'll know what they meant when you have them in hands Different ambient light temp = different blue tones. Sick
That (new) dye I'm getting out of Japan is wicked stuff... not exactly cheap and more and more I use it I'm starting to understand why lolllll it is insanely beautiful!
WE-NEED-PICS!!!! Really want to see those

I was already excited before I got this message Fred! Sounds like Jeff and I have the premium edition

Charles is the man on this, he did mine and they are fantastic. I had a spare headlight that was bad, I tried getting it apart and wound up destroying the lens trying to get it off....after that PW was the only way to go.
I've had the new projectors working flawlessly for 3 months and this morning the angel eyes would turn on but when I switched for the headlights the stereo got all staticky and the lights didn't turn on. When looking at the lights while on (and not working) you could see what looked like lighting crackling in the bulb. Eventually after turning on/off a few times they kicked on but now it's doing the same thing. Any ideas?
I'm super pissed right now...
Got my first (Ebay) headlight in my old oven, cam back to check it after 10 minutes and the top half of the headlight was burnt.
So I got to throw it out and find a new set.
I always suspected that the temperature setting of this oven was off, now I'm sure of it.

oh man... speechless atm
(in the hospital waiting room waiting for my mate who is getting a piece a 2~3" ABS plastic pulled out from his back.) Road racing accident, today at the track :/
Pissing rain in Shanghai, windy, cold, Non stop. and now this Hervé.... wtf.
That oven's thermostat is nasty offset for sure (???). Even at 300+ degree C for 10min... it might possibly chg shape a tad but would never burn. Unless it is one of those mini oven then that might explain what happened.
Good news is there are a few of those headlights available here and there - affordable. I'd also post in the WTB section of the forum... sure a fella member here will give you a break on cost

In retrospect, I'd rather be in my seat than your buddy's... Hope he'll recover nicely.
They were not burnt but they caved in and looked milky.
I'll start looking for a new set, see if maybe charles can handle the conversion for me.

Laugh as much as you want but my oven: a carton box insulated externally with foam and powered with a 2500w heat gun. $5 thermostat with a timer. That easy mate...
It was ^ that, or a divorce loll
Mate will be fine, I think loll Insured and all. Plastic broken deep inside his lower back... needs minor surgery. We waited about 7 hrs however... that 'wait' wasn't pleasant apparently. 26million population city... what else can you expect here. Missing those 'quick' and free Canadian hospitals man
Luck with the headlight find :/ arggg what a day
