Porsche Headlight Retrofit [from CAD, prototyping to finish)

[amagalla]

I need some help here. I have a set of these lights that I installed in 2015. Now I have a couple of issues with them. First is that the angel eyes don't work anymore. How do I go about testing to see what has gone wrong? Second, the lens in one of them has come unglued. I know that Fred initially used a high temp epoxy when he built them. What should I use to reattach the lens?

Thanks.

JB Weld is what I use to reattach lenses...carefully. You don’t want to see it.
Several years after many repairs, I can say it is far superior to the original epoxy, it’s just not clear.
Not a dig at Fred, just what it is.

Your AE’s are dead. Mourn them, then move on.

Well, if I have to take that stupid thing apart to reattach the lens, I might as well fix the AE at the same time. My real problem now is looking at the factory wiring, all the jacket is peeling away from the wire on the original wiring. I think I'm going to have to rewire the factory plugs. What a pain.
