Installation Instruction of Headlight Cover

For DIY Enthusiasts:

We encourage those with hands-on skills to attempt self-installation. If unsure, please visit an auto repair shop for professional assistance.

Step-by-Step Guide

  1. Using an Oven (Recommended):
    • Remove the rear cover and bulb from the headlight assembly.
    • Place the headlight in an oven preheated to 80°C (176°F) for 10 minutes to soften the adhesive.
    • Gently separate the lens from the housing.
  2. Using a Heat Gun (Alternative):
    • Heat the sharpest corner of the headlight with the heat gun, section by section.
    • Once the adhesive softens, carefully insert a flathead screwdriver to pry it open.
    • Caution:
      • Do not overheat (risk of damaging the housing).
      • Stop heating when the surface feels warm to the touch (test with gloves).
  3. Separating the Lens:
    • Once heated, quickly and forcefully pry open the corner. Pull hard! (Wear non-shedding gloves.)
    • If resistance occurs, reheat the area and repeat.
    • A skilled user can complete separation within 1 minute.
  4. Preparing for Reassembly:
    • Clean residual adhesive from the housing’s glue channel thoroughly.
    • Transfer decorative trim from the old lens to the new one.
  5. Applying New Adhesive:
    • Cut the tip of the provided glue tube at a 45° angle (adjust cut size if glue flow is insufficient).
    • Fill the glue channel to 50%-70% height with a continuous bead.
  6. Reassembling the Lens:
    • Align and press the new lens onto the housing.
    • Excess glue can be left to dry and later trimmed with a blade.
    • Wipe off any glue residue on the lens surface with a cloth.
  7. Curing & Final Steps:
    • Air-dry the assembly in a well-ventilated area for 3-5 days before reinstalling.
    • Avoid washing the vehicle or exposing it to rain for 1 week to prevent water ingress.

Safety Notes

  • Always wear heat-resistant gloves.
  • Work in a well-ventilated area.
  • Do not rush curing—patience ensures a waterproof seal
