Bixenon

[CIAUS]

Everybody likes a xenon light, but if you just put the H4 xenon bulb in to VX headlamp it will light like sh.. mmm not so well))). I would like to explain how to insert bixenon lenses to VX headlamp, for the exellent light ).
All this pics shown a JDM headlamps wich is little different, but I think, technology is the same vith US VX headlamps. I used Hella lenses only, all the rest (bulbs, starters etc) is SHOME.

1. First, you have to put you headlamp in to the oven :eek: with temperature approx 100 C (Celsium!!!) for a 10-15 min, until hermetic became soft, then use screw driver or knife for removing a front glass (use gloves - it is HOT:))

2. Take out all the parts, remove a reflector, for the next step

5. apply lens in reflector's body, you have to remember about "horizont line" when applyuing lens.
