Bought these used so I gotta fix them myself. What should I use to reattach it?

 

blue sticky tack...lol
maybe just super glue?

 

Epoxy

 

I was thinking epoxy too. Good call. What about high temp clear rtv?

 

Off topic, what shroud is that?

 

off topic x2 what halo rings are those? lol my leds are lame as **** and i wanna get ccfls but dont know from where

 

Looks like gatling gun

I'd just use Epoxy, that's what most retrofitters use.

 

lol or put a little PL premium (found in construction departments at homedepot, lowes etc) on a Q-tip and dab a little on, and I tell ya, that halo will NEVER fall off again

 

Thanks.

What is PL premium? I need something that can withstand the heat.

 

appears to be gatling gun 1.0
get them from retro-solutions.com. They use a version that has an acrylic diffuser over them which makes them appear thicker, and are sturdier than the bare ccfl tube ones that TRS and the like sell. TRS (and buyhids.com can get them) recently release a new set of LED rings which are supposed to be really bright.

 

I dunno but here are three other photos, maybe they will answer your questions...

 

I take it back it's an Apollo shroud

So my next question is.....

Would it be safe to put these in the oven with the little electronics that are attached to the projector and halo? I cant remove them. I may have to get the hair dryer out.

 

Yeah it's fine. Just make sure they don't touch the pan or anything.

 

Thx. I'm sure I'll be asking more questions when I inevitably break this thing.

 

*** no, that ****'ll stretch 2 much an eventually fall off again, ask me how I know >.< super glue, or epoxy that beech, thats so unfortunate tho

 

Yeah after asking I kinda thought that.

Bought some epoxy today, gonna get this fixed tomorrow I hope. Will post pics.

 

how hard were you brakin to make that thing pop off like that tho??? lol

 

Haha! I think the lights are hotter than normal possibly bc I stealth mounted both ballasts for my hid fogs and these under the headlight braket. I dunno if that actually matters but it's the only change I made from when I got them.

 

It can happen sometimes if the adhesive becomes too hard and brittle. A hard bump in the road can knock them off, same way shrouds pop off sometimes. It just happens. There are more foolproof ways to secure it like using picture hanging wire wrapped around the halo through a hole drilled in the shroud, but that doesn't look nearly as clean.

 

Good to know. Thanks. I actually did hit some nasty bumps in a construction zone last night.

Grrrrr

 

thank you sir found the perfect set there lol

 

PL premium is an epic construction adhesive, that **** will stick God and the Devil together

 

I googled it last night. I don't think it would be good for this application. Not sure if it could handle the heat from the light.

 

ya it can handle heat, we glued a wood stove back panel on with it last winter, still holding strong
