Nice how-to. Very easy to understand and follow. It is kinda funny it took two days. But i understand how it is trying to do stuff yourself just trial and error. Plus, to take time to take pictures during the whole process takes time too. But good job none the less. But you can do the same thing with a socket for a "194" style bulb the same way. Only you don't have to do the headlight in the oven trick. Just drill out the backside of the hole (same place you drilled) insert 194 bulb into socket. And socket squeezes into hole and stays there. You could silicone it in for peace of mind, but it stays there, even after being beaten on the ground a few times. (I had a junk corner piece of headlight I used to test all this) And the cool thing is that the 194 bulbs now come in LED so they are way brighter. And with the socket pushing in from the back, you can theoretically change the bulb if need be without taking apart the headlights again. Sorry to threadjack, and I absolutely love what you did and it looks just great. But thought I would let you know another way to do this. And your way has a very nice clean installation look too. Great Job!
