Default Whistler Headlights - Who will do it for me?$
I have failed miserably at the whistler mod. I want to purchase a new set of headlights and just pay someone to do it right. Is anyone interested in doing this?

Or, any other ideas to reach my goal? My headlights are beyond repair and im not willing to put anymore effort into them...

I'd be willing to do them if you were in IL. I'd rather not deal with the hassle of shipping.

When I was removing the lenses I couldnt help but to end breaking off several pieces off the lip on the housing. Maybe mine were particularly brittle or maybe I just sucked at it, but they allow water to get into my headlights now and they look like crap.

Sounds like it wasnt hot enough, the glue should be very sticky when u take it out of the oven, and it comes apart realy easily.. if not stick them back in a little longer thill its gets softer
