Custom Mk2 Headlamp Covers

So I thought I'd share this with you in case anyone wanted to give it a go.

I have recently painted some headlights up and rather than let them get condensation build up from no covers. I thought they needed modifying as running an LED bulb you cant use the original covers.

So i improvised, I found that a rainwater coupling is around the same size as the inner diameter of the original cap. So i made a 20mm extension and plastic welded it on. Using some spare caps from the main beam which fit perfectly onto these.

They fit perfectly in the car too.

 

Too early to say but theres around 7mm behind the fan so plenty of room for air flow.

 

Neither are decats or the HID kit I've ran for the past 5 years....

 

Heat gun, butter knife and a lot of patience and practise
