Hey everyone, let me start by saying this is not really a tutorial, I felt like I did not take enough pics for it to be a tutorial, ALSO this is my first post of this nature so please bare with me.

So I have been searching the internet for audi style headlights for the 2011 Outlander Spot, and anyone like me who has been searhing has come up with NOTHING. So I was left with two choices....deal with it until some one comes out with them or do it myself. As you can see I went with do it my self. Now I will say it took me about 8 hours to do only because I did not want to screw and I also painted.

Ok so I started by removing the bumper and the headlights

If you search the forum, there is a service book you can download. I pretty much followed that to see how to get everything off. It was pretty easy to remove

Here is the healight removed



My Outlander has factory HID lights installed (this is part of the reason for the lenghty time it took me) I was afraid to remove the light because I thought I would mess it up, thus preventing me from putting it in the oven to melt the factory seal. After about an hour of using a blow dryer and getting no where I decided the hell with it, and removed the hid light and battery attached at the bottom. (Sorry I have no pics of this)

So I baked the healight at 250 for about 5 minutes to melt the seal down


Next I grabbed some gloves and began to open the headlight, here is the healight opened

Here you have three parts to the healight, I removed the screws that held the chrome housing to the lens


Next I painted the chrome housing black (My preference)


After drying I layed down 3M double sided tape in the top opening


I also drilled a hole for the led strip wire as I did not want to block the city lights hole


Next I applied the led strip lights (I got mines off of ebay)


Like i said I did not take enough pics. But I put everything back togther. To melt the factory seal back down just place the back part of housing back into the oven for 5 mintues and reassemble.

Here is the finished product (I'll take some better pics tonight)




I will post how I wired them etc. later tonight. Any question just let me know and I will try and answer them to the best of my knowledge.
Overall I like it, and it looks really cool at night and during the day.

 

Wow. Anyone who's prepared to put the headlights from their new car in an oven deserves my respect! Nice finished look too!

 

Thanks, my wife nearly killed me when she saw the car apart and the headlight in the oven LOL, just glad it turned out well

 

I like that

 

Hey man not for nothing you can start a little side hustle by just buying a stock pair of OEM head lights for any Mitsubishi then converting it and doing trade offs with potential customers. They buy the same type you receive paypal then ship they ship you their headlights. Back on lancerevom forums we had a guy that used to do that. Happy Holidays to all! BTW start with Outlanders

 

Thats acutally not a bad idea, I actually had to re-open them and re-do them because the lights I purchased started to go out on me. Any way, they came out way better this time, and I spent less time re-doing them. I also did some more mods to the overall car which I will take pics today and post on your thread, I think the guys will like it when they see it

 

Awesome work! When you get around to it, i would love to see more pictures.

 

Ok, so here is the updated pics, I will take some more suring the day, I will also load some more pics of all the mods I did, I tried to take them this morning but it was just to dark. And in case anybody was wondering Yes, the lights are inside of the headlight thats why I was able to shape them instead of one straight line across the bottom like I have seen some folks do when Im driving LOL. I also utilized the space that I orginially had the strip light and replaced with a organge strip light and wired it to my blinker it looks really cool, I just have to figure out a way to take a pic, I think I will do a video and upload it to Youtube with all the mods I did

 

Now that is Beautiful Artwork I need a pair for my 2008 Mitsubish Outlander XLS can we plz get LED/Angeleyes/and some Halo too sir

 

Thanks Man, I was thinking about the halo, I seen some on ebay that I wanted to install, but I thought it would be a bit much with the led lights, led turning signal, and HID LOL
