Fitamit on that hood sucks.


You just need halos of the appropriate size, however, I have never seen ones that have a controller to change the color

Your going to have the measure the diameter of the ones you are replacing and order new ones in that same size. Your headlights seem to be made by a third party so I doubt many people can comment on how hard they will be to get apart. Usually 350 degrees in the over for a few minutes is enough to soften the seal and split the lense from the housing.

if there is enough glue left you want to try to utilize the same glue. idk what the stock stuff is or where it comes from but its amazing. otherwise you can add RTV sealant

awesome thanks for all the help guys about the wiring for them...if I'm looking to leave them on when the car is parked how much is it going to kill my battery?? and if i wire it into the set up for the parking lights that is already on my headlight clip i would only be able to have them on when my parking lights are on which would also have my brake lights on correct?would it be best to wire them on their own circuit with constant power that way i can have them on whenever i want and i can turn them off with my remote?
