Default whistler headlights gone bad....

Alright guys...i tried doing the whistler headlight mod and my headlights seemed to just be too old so the plastic cracked and a whole lense cover caved in on me in the oven....sooooo i was wondering if there is anywhere to order pre-made stock whistler headlights. I searched ebay and couldn't find any.

the first headlight we cracked because it wasn't in long enough ,then the second one looks like the whole clear lense melted inward because we left it in TOO long ERGHHH!!! at least they were in pretty bad shape to begin with...

If you have to get new lights Id get some halos, I hate those cheap knock-off whistlers. There pretty much a half-*** job of what the real whistler lights look like.

What temperature was your oven set to when it melted the one lens? How long was it in there?

The lights will melt from too high a temp, but not from being left in too long.

im doing the whistler mod right now. I put myn in the oven the other day. I put them in at 200F for 30minutes each. When I pulled out the second one I accidentally broke off a plastic grey piece from where I tried getting the butter knife in.
