Yeah, can we do this on the 12th? That way ppl that are heading out of town can have a chance to get their cars ready to do this.

I am down to put some money down and get some Carne Asada or Patties and make a party ouf of it.

Dnayukns is a chill person so it makes this that much better

If any one wants to use Sylvania Silverstar bulbs for this, let me know. I have a brand new set I can sell, size 1156.

Here what they look like installed:



Depending on the angle you view them, they have a blueish, purpleish, chromish color to them.

Is there any way I can get in on this?
I've been wanting to clear and paint my 06 headlights, but was really unsure about how to do it myself. I'll pitch in with food or drinks if ya guys want.

I guess, it is totally up to the person who offers to let us use their house and oven. I hope we all can agree on doing this next Saturday the 12th, that way most people are back from the holiday weekend.

NO - ANYONE BUT YOU!!!. Jk man. If you guys wanna do it on the 12 - im hella down. Just PM me if you wanna come and we'll all just kick it - however...parking is limited hahah. I do live 5 mins from a safeway so if you wanan buy food and **** - its right there. Feel free to bring whatever - nothing is required. =)

Oh yea last thing. This baking process takes a while so you guys will prolly have to wait your turn - seeing how my oven isnt freaken huge.

I can do the 12th, but we should set it in stone cause I have to get the day off. Plus it'll take at least a few days to order the bulbs.

225 for 5-8 minutes will do, then just prye it with flathead or panel popper.

where can i get those chrome bulbs, i got single led for my parking lights, not bright enough and orange bulbs for my signals so it looks like amber still in it

and angel eyes are easy to do too, i got em for 55 dollars at lightwerkz.net
http://lightwerkz.net/prod_ccfl.htm

looks like they have two different sizes now...i got it back before they had those options.

edit:

actually went the LED route, ordered from v-led on ebay.

Well it seems we will be doing this in Fremont at Dnayukns place. Unless someone else is offering their place which has more parking and what not? I am not sure as to how much room he has at this place, too bad we can't just meet up at a park and have an oven there Anyways I cannot wait for this to happen, hopefully by then I will have my next mod on my car

Both are technically illegal. But, we're not tinting our lights, at least I'm not. I'm just painting the chrome housing, the light output will not be effected in any way.
