WHAT TOOLS DO I NEED FOR THE INSTALLATION PROCESS?
- Pry Tool / Flathead Screwdriver
- Dremel / Cut Tool / Power Drill
- Epoxy Adhesive (optional)
- Rubberwerkz Butyl Sealant
- Oven (optional)
- Beading Wire (optional)
- Surgical Powderless Gloves (optional)
OPENING YOUR HEADLIGHTS
STEP ONE
Before anything, you’ll want to determine what type of sealant was originally
used to seal your headlights.
Butyl Sealant (which will typically only take1 a cycle in the oven)
OR
Permaseal (which could possibly require a few cycles in the oven). Once
you determine the type of sealant you’re dealing with, there are 2 main
methods installers use to take them apart:
Method 1: Preheat oven to 215°.Remove any metal screws from the
lens/housings and place the headlight in the oven for 12 minutes at a time
until they pull apart. Some headlights take more cycles than others. Using a
flat-head screwdriver you will pry the headlight open in 3″ increments until
the lens is completely loose/detached. *Time and temperatures may vary based
on your vehicle/oven.
Method 2: Some prefer to avoid the oven and simply use a dremel or some
sort of cutting tool. If you’d rather use a tool, you’re going to want to cut
along the lens where it meets the plastic of the headlight. Make sure to not
cut too deep on your first swipe around or it will melt the plastic and cause
buildup around the edges of the headlight.
CONNECTING YOUR HALOS
STEP TWO
We strongly suggest you make sure your halos are connected and working
properly prior to mounting them and resealing your headlights.*Please refer to
the wiring diagrams on the backside of this brochure for specific wiring
instructions.
De-Pin the JST Connection found on the end of your halo(as shown below).
This is a simple but tedious process, we recommend using our Pick-EZ Tweezer Tool (shown below) or any Pick Tool to apply pressure to the metal pins (one at a time) removing each of them from the backside of the connector. Once you remove the metal pins from the connector, you’re going to drill a small 1/4″ hole(just enough to fit the 4 pins through) into the bezel of your headlight housing. Once you feed the pins into the hole through your bezel you can simply insert them back into the JST connector. *Please refer to the wiring diagrams on the backside of this brochure for specific wiring instructions.
MOUNTING YOUR HALOS
STEP THREE
There are many ways to mount your halos once they’re functioning, here are a few methods we recommend:
- Use the 3M Adhesive Tape found on the backside of your halo ring, be sure to sand the surface you’ll be applying the halos to before doing so.
- You can use your everyday 2-part Epoxy: simply spread it along the backside of the halo and stick it onto the desired location.
- Use the Beading Wire method, which would require drilling two very small holes on each side of the halo and running a wire across the top of the halo and through the holes. Once the wire is run through and you feel as if the halo is secure, simply twist and lock the open ends together on the backside of the headlight until firm.
