Wassup guys,

Whats a ball park price for a stereo/alarm place to do the whistler mod?

I 'd do it my self but i can bring myself to hackin up my only pair of headlights on my dd.

thanks

 

Not sure if I've ever seen anyone take it to a shop. I say man up and have some fun!

 

yeah man up... its very easy!

 

It will probably be easier to do it yourself than to try to explain to a shop what you want done & how to do it and all. I think you would be greeted with the WTF face from the shop. No offence intended...

 

It'll be one of those mods that when you do it, you'll be like "that was so easy, I can't believe I considered paying someone to do it"

exactly.

it takes no effort at all. the hardest parts, which arent actually hard at all, are 1) actually allowing yourself to stick your lights in the oven at 200+ degrees. 2) pulling the lens/housing apart, you kinda think your gonna break something, even though theres really nothing you're gonna break.

 

a shop will rape you with the price

 

^really! just picture the rediculous price they'd charge in time alone, just masking it all off. definitely a DIY mod

 

hAHA

Thanks for talking me into it guys.

I know its simple but I was worried about cutting up the lenses.

Its going to be a good experience.

 

You don't have to cut up anything. Heat, Open, Mask, Paint, Close, Profit. I've done 3 of these and it only takes an hr or so.

But yes, a shop will rape you on the price. That if you can actually find one that will do it.

 

Send them to me

 

anyone painted the back of the light? or does that not work?

 

no don't paint the back of the light. u will lose the illuminating properties of the light.

 

Yeah thats what I figured. Anybody know if this stuff called Amazing Goop would work to re seal the light? bought at auto zone because it was on sell so thought why the hell not..

 

clear silicone rtv is like 3 bux...u can't afford 3 dollars?

 

I was looking for that but didnt see any so I took what I was told to be the closest alternative..

 

thats what u get for going to autostoned....

 

i personally like oreilly's they USUALLY have knowledgeable people that have an idea of what your talking about... like when you go up to autozone and ask them to look up what size wipers you need to get and they ask, ok what size engine is it??? like seriously does it matter!?!?! just click on one...
