Facing out towards red lens Raz, that’s probably why come to think of it now

Was planning on facing my LED towards the silver so it reflected as close to OEM as poss.

It will be interesting to have a look, and try to reduce the amount of ring you can actually see! :smiley:

Cheers for the help so far guys! :happy2:
Going to get some parts ordered and have a play about with splitting and re-sealing the inner light. I assume tiger seal would be the best think to use to re-seal the part back together?

First time I used Tigerseal, 2nd time I used Sikaflex (i think sikaflex 221) Seemed better than tiger seal, less messy

Practise inner light turned up today! :happy2:
Hopefully will have a go at splitting it this weekend. Not sure the best method, i feel like i should heat up the lens/glue before splitting. I've seen people put them in the oven, but maybe the heat gun would work just as well!

Excited to try this all out!

I used a heavy duty wide filling knife, just a case of prying gently small sections at a time, you’ll hear cracking, don’t worry. Be gentle.
Take care especially near the corners

Heating it up won't help as it's not put together like how headlights are. Mij is correct it's plastic that you break apart

I didn't realise that, so thanks for the info!
I suppose it doesn't really matter with this light as it is only for some practise

Split the lens! I know what you mean now by "you'll hear cracking" ! Scared me at first, thought it was the lens!

This is going to sound like a very stupid question, BUT, what colour LED ring do i need? :stupid:

I did initially think that, but then i got confused and thought i was supposed to use white, and let it shine through the lens red :doh: :doh:
