Silverado Projector Headlight Build Part 1: How to take apart a silverado headlight housing

Starting a projector retrofit build for my Silverado Duramax! Documenting every step of the build, this first video shows exactly how to take apart a silverado headlight housing using an oven

I love everything BUT the tinted headlights.. should have gone clear with painted guts...

This video was helpful and doing it for the first time i got all except 2 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 I tried opening the fog lights but i broke one and the didn't try the other one i installed those RGB LED that go inside the housing and change different colors i tried searching for a video on opening the fog light assembly but no luck. Any advice on that if you ever tried?

[@FixedVaneDuramax]

Are the Fog Lights oem? If so GM uses a different sealing compound than most aftermarker companies that is extremely hard to get apart and back together properly. I've only tried once with oem headlights and failed miserably to be honest. My advice is this is the case would be to get a new set of aftermarket fogs and try with those.

[@MarioHernandez-hq7vd]

Alright and thanks i ordered aftermarket smoked ones now hopefully they will be easier

[@selfmadedesigns509]

Hey will the ones that have ubar inside the housing. Would it get damaged if put in the oven? But thanks for the video

[@taylorlathem9968]

Do you remember what brand headlights it was that you bought for it? Wanting to do the same however I don’t want to get a set that are sealed with permaseal as that is a pain to deal with!

[@FixedVaneDuramax]

These were just cheap housings off Amazon! Most aftermarket ones in general wont be permasealed thankfully. One note..I wouldnt get cheap tinted housings like these for an expensive custom build. The tint will start to come off after 6 months to a year and you'll have to break them back open and replace the lens.

U make the bottom ones look too easy to take apart 😂 I’m making a new pair and forgot how to take apart the bottom row

[@mariovaldez87]

Did you add more glue and if you did what kind ?

[@FixedVaneDuramax]

I added a little bit in a few areas that had become thin. You can get a roll of butyl rubber replacement from The Retrofit Source. May be cheaper else where.

Does baking them make the kitchen or oven smell? Dumb question but I live with my parents and don’t want to be shot

[@FixedVaneDuramax]

No it does not. I did these in my home kitchen and my wife did not even notice.

[@scottbeal7461]

What are your plans for the LEDs you currently have in the truck?

[@FixedVaneDuramax]

Waiting to see how all this turns out and then I'd pry sell them to you! lol

[@scottbeal7461]

@@FixedVaneDuramax good deal!! Looking forward to seeing how they turn out
