It turned out really nice, and Im sorry about the scraping..... but your 8 looks

 

Wow, the smoked lense looks very nice Gregs

 

just installed mine few minutes ago

 

I've been eye'n this out for several days and and to say I just ordered on your site Lebren, woohoo .... will be waiting and will post my result. TY!~

 

this has to be my next mod! off topic but is it just me or has the club not been loading lately?

 

Same problem for me.

 

dam i thought i was the only one

 

Smoked Gray looks fantastic on the yellow! Got it rev, you're really going to like it! I agree, the 8club site has been inaccessible a few times in the past week... I wonder if the server is acting up??

 

i started to notice that the light and the accent seems to be loosing contact. should i take everything out to use the silcon thing again?

 

Ive been following this thread for a while now and i have a quesiton. DO these automatically come on when you turn on your head ligths or is there an individual switch for the accent light ??

 

it turns on with the parking lights

 

If i buy this.. how hard would it be to make its own switch etc....

 

i dont think it would be hard
all you need is a switch and longer wires to get it to the front of the car

 

Yea tru .. thanks i might get this soon . BTW yours look so sick

 

Ask Lebren when you order yours he might be able to help you out with a switch

 

I was actually going to do the wiring to switch this on and off from the front of the car..

 

maybe i should do that too while im taking it out to re attach the lense.

 

yeah i wired it to a switch, love it b/c i can run it like a rear fog in daytime, don't need my headlights to be one. just ask lebren and he'll hook you up with extra wire. i got a switch from a local auto store.

dude, lebren, i swear i took more pics but i haven't had internet at home in days/weeks!! so frustrating. looks like you're getting some other pics though

 

First I apologize for the late reply! Make sure there's a solid layer of RTV and that it reaches the edges of the lens. If you touch the lens when spreading the RTV with your finger it's probably too thin of a layer. I'll do my best to get an image up so you can see how thick it should be.

 

ok so i should take it off huh?
cuz when i push on the lense it moves back a little

 

oh and when im putting it back on do i put strip of double sided tape w/ another layer of rtv?

 

Remove the light, and as much of the RTV as you can from the Accent/lens bond. Remove as much double sided tape as possible that was on there before. Avoid using more double sided tape, and remember there are 2 steps to RTV.

1) Apply the lens to the accent and smear/smooth the RTV.

and

2) after smoothing and curing (give the RTV an hour at least) then use a second layer over the existing one to adhere the entire assembly to the bumper.

Too much RTV will make a really tight fit that won't allow the light to fit 100%

 

ooh okay
thanks!

 

I hope it helps and interested if the switch works out, 2tone has had success with this as he mentioned.

 

wow... i failed miserably................. when i when to step to to use RTV to put the accent in. the lense poped out.......................... leaving me even in more trouble so now its in three pieces(almost) the rotor accent, LED/circuite and lense...

oh . the Rtv got all over the lense so the lense is dirty...
