wangshin248 Posted April 21, 2015 Author Share Posted April 21, 2015 The video clip you posted is of a car headlight which has no screws to hold the housing together so yes that melts the adhesive to take apart but the FZ-07 headlight is different. Do you have any closer pics of the insides of both part of the headlight that you can post? It's the same bro, All headlight included car, motorcyle. They all use adhesive. The reason that you cannot split it apart because of that strong adhesive. it takes time to open it fully ---------------- as you can see, no screws between housing and trim. This adhesive like I said is super strong, use a small knife to split it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmar143 Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 wangshin...the adhesive is between the glass and the back of the headlight assembly. If you have a picture of the inside of the glass and trim piece that would show exactly what I am talking about here because the front trim piece is held in by four screws from INSIDE the light. You can see one of the screws coming from inside the light in the pics that I posted. I can see one of the holes in your pic above that is all wallowed out right below and to the left of the lower light assembly...you have that red line going through it and it runs right through the adhesive and into the front trim piece. If you didnt remove those and just heated the headlight you had to pull the screws right out of the holes when prying it off. And im not sure how it is being held in place now honestly if you did not run those 4 phillips head back in. I am going to take mine apart this weekend and provide detailed pics on exactly how to remove that trim piece. I have some ideas on how to get the bottom 2 screws out.

I just did this over the weekend and wangshin is right. I also thought like you did and unscrewed all the screws but realized the adhesive is just really strong. Like really STRONG. I had to put it in the oven 3 times i believe for 5-7min each time and just used oven mitts to pull as hard as i can and a knife to help seperate the black front trim from the back trim. It just takes a lot of brute force really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vi5a Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Looks like I'm ready for my HID install. I broke these little locking tabs thingy. Didn't even know they were there. Don't think it's necessary to have them once headlight is glued back together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vi5a Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 By the way, the lens came off fairly easy for me. Cooked it at 220 degrees for 10 minutes. Grabbed it out of the oven bare handed and instantly began pulling apart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 By the way, the lens came off fairly easy for me. Cooked it at 220 degrees for 10 minutes. Grabbed it out of the oven bare handed and instantly began pulling apart. How hard would it be to take the reflector out? I want to paint it black so it isn't the chrome color behind the Projector. Is it held in by screws that would come out easy? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Global Moderator sorkyah Posted May 3, 2015 Global Moderator Share Posted May 3, 2015 Looks like a fun install. Put the kit in my cart for payday. Not really looking forward to cooking rhe thing though. Also will this work as a sealer instead of windshield butyl? http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000HBM4MO/ref=mp_s_a_1_9?qid=1430611778&sr=8-9&pi=AC_SX110_SY165_QL70&keywords=the+right+stuff+permatex ATGATT...

oscardms Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 What did you guys wire your halos to? Thinking of just using the aux light connection for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squintyeyes Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 What did you guys wire your halos to? Thinking of just using the aux light connection for it. The halos i used took so much power that i had to run from the ignition switch so it still cut off from the battery when switched off. Now with hindsight i should have tried the accessory port that Yamaha added to the left side of the bike. It switches on and off with the key and provides full power.

I already have a usb charger using the aux port. But I might just tap into those wires instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oscardms Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Does anybody have the link or part number for the halos? I got mine from the retrofit source since that's where I got my whole projector retrofit kit from. But you can use any halo really. Comes down to personal preference since there are different sizes, color, and style. Just find one that suits your needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garrim Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 Vi5a, do you have a link to the prouct on amazon or part numbers? Going to attempt this mod. I just ordered these off of Amazon. The Kensun kit he has pictured seems to be the same one that the OP is using. As for the projector lens/housing with dual angel eyes, I did a reverse image lookup through Google and found these here for $35/ea with free shipping, although *slightly* different in style - bet you can't even tell what is different they are so close. Couldn't really find them on Amazon except as a kit with 2 and with xenon bulbs included for about $95 which can be found right here. There was also this listing which is looks to be identical the one in his pictures, but $64 shipped for a pair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
