Go to Lowe's and pick up some flooring shims. Usually in the hardwood flooring supply dept. They are little plastic wedges that will keep parts of the housing separated as you go along. The shape will allow you to adjust how far open the cover is as you move along. 👍

tip: For the new guys/weekend warrior, until you get he hang of it i would start from bottom of headlights fellas. Chances are you'll either expand the channels or some type of imperfection/damage. Errors will not appear when headlights are mounted to vehicle. good luck

I swear everyone else I’ve seen do these had a much easier time than I did. I 100% agree you should start on bottom where you can’t see it later if something gnarly happens.

Those look like E39 head lights in your icon photo, have you opened permasealed e39 head lights?

[@tonyg-2jz82]

Yah omg F that stuff! I recently did an 09 Jaguar XF and after only baking at 250° for 7-10 minutes I put those bastards back in at 20 minutes. And then it became...more manageable... still what a pain in the ass and I had to wear semi thick gloves and just pry at certain parts with a flat head. It even broke my plastic pry tools which I was pissed at. Not to mention one of the biggest headlights I've ever seen my Mom and my Dad both freaked when I came by asking to use their ovens 😂 Had to demonstrate that on top of a 1x4 it wouldn't rest on the oven and no parts inside will touch either. But I had like maybe half an inch on both sides from touching. Nightmare retrofit!!! Thanks for all you do you're the man and an inspiration

[@mastermusicman24]

In the beginning of the video, you mentioned something about an oven. If you put these headlight fixtures in the oven, at what temperature and how long? If not, heatgun it is. Currenly working on a '11 BMW X5, E70. Watched almost all the videos on it, but none mentioned the clear lens is attached to the inner plastic shield, which I ended up breaking the cheap plastic tabs where the screws were attached. Superglue'd em back on. Now I've gotta figure out a way to clean off the rest of the black silicone from the housing in order to create a smoother surface for the new adhesive. Suggestions? Thanks

[@jamesrobertson4849]

I use a heat gun and small pry bar and only takes me about 10-15 minutes....next time I open one I'll make a how to video

[@Dav1d_Fi5h]

This was definitely valuable. It made me wonder if the Dodge Ram truck lights I guided a friend through for his first retrofit, would have been as easy as you made this look, or if it wouldn't have mattered. I say this because what I now know for sure was permaseal in his spare lights we used, his lights got so torn up in the channel (mostly his work), and the sealant seamed WAY crustier, even with high heat being applied with my heat gun.

[@flyryde]

GTpro yeah man, even the first light took me 3 times as long, because I didn’t have my temps and times right. Some permaseal is NO WAY this easy. I’ve seen one video where the dude just simply peaks it all out in one chunk, as though that’s a realistic expectation, lmao 🤦‍♂️ Some is way harder than this for sure.

[@Dav1d_Fi5h]

@@flyryde What cooking temps and times would you recommend for working with permaseal headlights?

[@drumm24]

GTpro 250°F for 13 mins is what he told someone else

[@triple_threat_lightz]

GTpro 220-225 10 minutes intervals no more than 15 minutes, Mopar permaseals it’s been all I’ve done for all them. I just finished my own personal ram Rebel a few weeks ago.

[@triple_threat_lightz]

FlyRyde they are all not the same in terms on cleaning the channels, like said that one sude picked it out in a chunk and that’s not what happened to the ones you did, it’s like each custom build that are all different none are the same they all unique, I’ve had easy ones with just one time in the oven and 💨 they open up quick n easy others takes me 30 minutes each to get them done.

[@TheJUGGERHULK]

I would definitely like to show you my technique of how to open these headlights. Should take about 1-2 minutes. Removing the permaseal afterwards is pretty easy as well now that I've gotten a good rhythm.

[@moneymoves10]

can you explain how you do it?

I’ve heard of some pretty cool ways to use pressurized air, but removing Permaseal quickly! That one I gotta see to believe 🧐

[@josezamora7889]

Hey Chris, can you make a video on how to make Quad Projector, I’m trying to make a quad projector for my Evo X and trying to get some ideas on how to achieve it.

[@flyryde]

My best advice for true quads, is to go with the halogen lights, and retro 4 easy to mount MH1 projectors. Doing a faux quad on the SSS lights is hard as hell, and it doesn’t even work. It also looks kinda stupid on the car in person lol.

[@kody7153]

Can you give some advice if we botch the channel at all or disfigure it a little

[@keithpoley3432]

I could give you some in depth instructions if you really want to do it. I use bolt kits and a retrofit tool and hole saws to dead center the projectors. Dont use any of that putty epoxy unless you have to. The goal is dead center and to retain stock adjustment ability when I do retrofits by only mounting to the reflector bowls... NOT the housing or back of housing. Make the hole in the back of the housing bigger if you have to. You want that adjustability, its nice. There's lots of tricks and special parts and things that make the job a lot easier. LMK if you need any more advice

[@Easy_Victor]

It's more like a softish brittle plastic than rubber or sealant. Think this was the stuff holding my third tail light (brake light) together on my CTS that is known for leaking and causing problems with the electronics inside. It was Hor-e-blay! to get apart to replace with LED's and reseal to get it working again.

[@justinbarber9597]

What tool did you use to separate the lens?

[@keithpoley3432]

Hey Chris! Noticed your green tool there is part of a set of special headlight tools. Theres like 3 or 4 different sets of different type of headlight tools with the green handles. Some handles are shaped for more torque and pulling. Have you tried them all? Is the screwdriver shape the best in uour oppinion? Is it worth buying all the others? Thanks man!

[@flyryde]

Keith Poley I used them to open up some Lamborghini Gallardo headlights. I honestly would just cut open any light that would otherwise require you to use that tool set. It’s very very easy to make one wrong move, and the leverage they have against the headlight lens is incredibly easy to cause a crack or break 😣

[@triple_threat_lightz]

FlyRyde I agree and don’t use them and have not bought them other than a tool very similar to the Stanley Lock Ring Pliers you use on the video that’s the primary tool I use when I open headlights.

[@keithpoley3432]

Man i just been cutting permaseal stuff open. Its not difficult and with some care you hardly notice. Especially tail lights... All them things gotta be cut.

[@triple_threat_lightz]

Keith Poley I started doing the cutting method that diode dynamics and oracle shows on their videos a long time ago when I started, I didn’t like that method at all, was not a fan of how they look when putting them back together, only did a couple of them like that and then was able to get the oven method as a skill under my belt and been using that method ever since I successfully did the first set.

[@jonathansandiford4137]

Thanks for posting Chris!! I hate that stuff. Its like black plague. I always end up stabbing myself with whatever tool I'm trying to use to get the two halves to separate.. on my last headlight, i just cut the outside of the channel off, and then pried the lens away from the inner part of the channel/devil glue. Its effective, but intensive, as I had to epoxy the outer channel back in place afterwards..

[@flyryde]

Jonathan Sandiford you’re smart dude. That’s the method I recommend on anything harder than this kinda of permaseal. Corvette’s, Mustangs, Chargers, Challengers, etc can be pried and resealed like this, but most exotics and euro I’m not even remotely interested in prying.

I would like more information on the Permaseal product. Do you know who makes it? What about an exact part number they are using? Your video really gives little information on heating. Like how hot. Should it be allowed to soak at the temperature? should the heat just be concentrated like when using the heat gun or more all around like i an oven?

[@flyryde]

Michael Meisman Permaseal Product? Not sure I follow my friend? Temps and times vary by manufacturer. Manufacturers vary by make and model. I could tell you 250F for 13 minutes like I did, but that may be more or less than your exact need.

[@michaelmeisman4731]

@@flyryde OK so if I understand you here each headlamp manufacturer has their own "permaseal". Meaning that "permaseal" is not a name brand?? I did not hear in the video you say 13 minutes at 250F, sorry about that. Is 200 hundred a good area to start for initial heating or have you found 250 to be the starting point? Then using the heat gun to spot heat as needed when removing. Mnay years ago with MB, BMW, and Audi I would heat the lighting elements to 250then soak for 30 minutes and they would come apart like butter. But this was with glass lenses and the sealant was gray. Thank you very much for your time and information. I am just getting back into doing headlight remodeling after not doing it since about 2003.

Silicone will be much easier to open than permaseal. Just get a something in between the lense and lip and run it along like a 90° pick or a utility knife. Use a screwdriver to pry a start point... Start on the BOTTOM of the headlights so you wont see it if theres a little vit of damage or imperfection.

H1 bi xenon with halogen is easily twice as bright with 3x the spread than HIR2, i don't get how a new car (Yaris Hybrid) came with that out of a factory in 2014, but it did from '14 to '20 i believe.

I liked it. If you have a permasealed housing, do you permaseal it again after the customization or do you go to butylene for the new seal? I need a plyers like what you have. I think it might save my hand strength or make it worse....

Havoc7991s DEFINITELY rubber butyl after you get all that crap out. The #1 reason for me, is that it’s ready to wash the car immediately after resealing and remounting the lights. No waiting for sealant to cure, PLUS it’s easy to heat them up and quick gain access again. I’ll have a follow up video to this soon showing exactly that.
