i picked up a F4i a few weeks ago. f'n love it already. i was searching through the forums and found a LED headlight mod thread

https://cbrforum.com/forum/how-mecha...rl-mod-114276/


has anyone else tried this??? how hard was it? that forum looks dead. I wanna try this DIY but only one other person in that thread has done it.

 

this question looks to be right up Z's alley; hopefully he'll notice this thread soon.

 

it isnt terrible hard it more of a pain in the *** than anything and its just time consuming. the actual taking apart is easy and the wiring is also simple

 

I did it and made my own How-to and it didnt take long, it takes about 30 min to took apart the headlight...thats the hard part, everything else its easy...

 

how long did it take?? and did you use an oven to open up the headlight??

i saw your air duct led mod thread. but did you make a how-to for the headlight led mod??


The DIY i posted earlier isn't very noob friendly..

 

To do the whole thing i did projectors and halos with a dual switch took probably about 7 hours after working out all the kinks. If i had to do it again probably about 3-4. I used the oven to open the head light. It worked great i just used 250 cause i was nervous and took it out opened it a little and put it back in again and again until it opened

 

i'm a bit nervous of baking the headlight lol. How did you put the headlight back together? and what did you find was the most difficult part of doing this?
Any tips?

i want to try and do this sometime this weekend.

 

ya baking head light is a little nerve racking. i mean just remember put it on aluminum foil so you dont melt the headlight. The temp i used was 225 and just let it take its time. Patience is key in this undertaking. To put the headlight back together you put the light back in the over melt the glue and squish the s**t out of it till it goes back together nicely. The hardest part was probably finding a place to but the ballast and the controller. Everything else was pretty simple

I did a write up originally when i did, https://cbrforum.com/forum/how-mecha...nstall-108979/. It was my first one so if its crappy sorry but if you need anything let me know
