Dick Chown Award 2016
I posted this in the laughter lounge because it seems somehow appropriate.
I wanted to remove the LED DRLs I fitted (they looked like Christmas tree lights and Christmas is over now)
I had two very good Headlamp units (the original ones I had on the car)
So I wanted to use the front halves of these because removing the LEDs would leave holes and marks in the chrome trim.
So I went on You Tube and carefully studied the several videos of people baking their headlamps to separate them (My originals were not splitable)
I followed the instructions to the letter, especially the oven temperature settings.
The recommendations all seemed to be for a temperature of between 220 and 250.
So I crossed my fingers and popped it in.
The recommendation was for around 7 minutes.
After 4 minutes I had a look (just in case)
The result was as follows (not quite what I wanted to see!!! I Guess the American videos mean 250 degrees F not C (I don't do baking / cooking so how was I to know!!!)
Please feel free to laugh at me, I deserve it !!!!!!!
Happy new year all
