I gathered quite abit of inspiration at yesterdays FCS for future plans as my next job is getting my wheels done gunmetal, I've been thinking of changing my front lights to match, I've got a set of angel eyes but they were off my sisters 1st car which was a 1.4 lx with H4 adapter so I've made a h7-h1 loom so I can use then in my 180, but I've just though about getting masked valeo's what do you guys think will look best with blue
Thanks Dan

Never been a fan of angel eyes on 206s, masked headlights look much better.

Its real simple mate, just put in oven on a warm temperature to allow the sealent to heat up so you can pull the light cover away from the actual light, then just reseal with some new sealent
If i can do it you can easily

At what temperature and for how long in the oven. Do you need to place the light cluster on something to prevent it from melting?

Make sure the light doesnt touch the back or sides of the oven, i just rested mine on the metal rack and it was fine, came off real easy after that.
