Next time you can't sleep, reroute/organize the cables on your TV.

Seriously though, lot of work you just put in there. I saw Long's DIY, it is not for the faint of heart.

update: ok, i was driving around in florida rain, condensation builds up on the driver's side xenons...
i go home, hair dried the crap out of it and i guess the condensation built up back in the adaptive headlight module
now i have to order a module off either bmw or ebay ($69 starting bid -_- i think thats just bs trying to sell a simple circuit board for 69)
bah, its VERY frustrating, but at least now i know what NOT to do from now on

Is that a granite countertop?

bronco · 07-25-2007, 09:26 AM

I don't know about the condensation problem, but that TV seems to plugged in directly to the wall, and I hope you don't get too much thunder and lightnings in your area. Go buy a power strip with a fuse in it.

ScheerSpeed · 07-25-2007, 09:32 AM

i think im going to try and do this with my halogens!

instead of the vinyl overlay

DanMardik · 07-25-2007, 09:44 AM

The Cleaner · 07-25-2007, 09:52 AM

Thats a lot of work, I would have never thought the reflector color would be so much of a problem that one would go to that trouble to change it. nice work.

mds82 · 07-25-2007, 11:33 AM

Hey i didnt even see this thread till today....

What did you use to seal the headlights back up - I havent had a problem in the 4 headlights i've opened so far.

Also, good Job opening them, its not easy is it???

this is what i did with mine. and this was REAL CF, not a CF sticker or anything.

I've found that Permatex black silicone adhesive works Very well for sealing them back up

tctic · 07-25-2007, 11:36 AM

Good job. Looks great! Effort well worth it.
