You didn't reinstall the lenses?? Won't that have a significant impact?

GREAT JOB!

however, i would have considered using the high temp silicon instead so that if the AE ring failed at some point, you could easily switch it out. Also, I hope you tested the AEs on 12 volts before installing to make sure all the rings worked... right?

Great install.

Doing mine today or tomorrow. I have the same sport lights and will be cutting off the yellow plastic portion with a dremel and possibly reinstalling the clear lens minus yellow.

I'm thinking of doing that too, but I'm wondering how clean the cut would be. Maybe you could post close-up pics when you're done?

Nice work! There no cutting to get the amber out correct?

Is it necessary to bake it to get the cover out? Also when you re bake it is this to get it sealed again?

Tks!
