Anyone bought a set of LED high power bulbs yet?

Has anyone taken off a set of headlight lenses yet? and then re glued them? baking them in the oven?

Not sure how they would work with a reflector design like we have. However, they are BRIGHT. There was an old garbage truck going the other way this morning, and it was sporting replacement round 7" headlights that were LED. I couldn't believe the output.

I have not taken the caprice lenses off, although I have done a h.i.d. retro on my truck using some lexus rx330 projectors, i baked the lights in the oven at 250 for 10-15mins. To re-seal them I used rubber butyl and have not had any problems with moisture or anything of the sort going on 2 yrs in all weather types and plenty of high pressure washes.

I have a whisperjet harness and relays for the wagon,.

I was looking at 2005 lincolns, and 2005-7 dodge caravans,. and was wondering if i could mount a reflector into the b-body headlight,. get clear lenses etc,.

I would like to put projectors into the wifes fancy f**d, it is now relegated to daily driver and will be doing winter duty,.either hid's or led's,. or an LED light bar mounted to the roof,.Shocked

I scrapped the town and country van, it needed a new steering rack,. and everything was rotten underneath on the subframe,.

Some of the aftermarket clear euro headlight for our cars have the casper shields, or reflectors. I had some on my wagon before doing the BMW lights. They worked pretty good with Gery's headlight harness, and 55w/100w bulbs. I used black RTV to reseal the clear lenses to the BMW buckets. I haven't had a hint of moisture behind the lenses as of yet.

The ones I got have the casper shields. I really like them. I run hi/low HIDs in them.
