plexi

[drew93tsi]

can anyone in here bend plexiglass or know of a place i can go to have it done?

[GSXLR8]

might try asking in the interior/exterior section incase some non-4G63 people might have an answer for ya

[MrBlunt]

the question of the day is what are you trying to make?

[drew93tsi]

took out the relay for the flip on the headlights and i have a set of catz xld dual driving lights that i want to wire up in the headlights place. i want to either buy new clear plastic pieces for the headlights to shine through or replace them with plexi...might have to be thick plexi due to the heat issue...nothing ricey i just need good lights as i cannot see at night. i also have a new set of catz msx driving lights that will be used for fogs too...i like to see where i am going at night...so the plexi would be what...2" tall and 12" long...any suggestions?

[jplong]

i would think plexi(even thick) will melt under heat...it might just take longer buy where the light beam actully hits the plexi will begin to look like a bubble working its awy out side....

i could be wrong on all this but its what i think

lexan on the other hand....http://www.gelexan.com/gelexan/ i do blievie could stand up to the heat...but is alot more expensive....

[drew93tsi]

is that what they make the new headlight covers out of...cause i know the hids get a bit on the hot side.

[drew93tsi]

a guy here at work yelled at me because i didnt ask him he can do plexi and we have it here in the shop...just not thick like i want it.

im not sure...but i would think so...it might also me a mixutre of plexi and real class...i domt rember what its called...but you cant bend it..you have to have a mold made....

[drew93tsi]

well what can i do in the mean time? if i buy the factory plastic strips (that the light shiens through) will be clear enough? i dont care about seeing the fixtures or anything i just cant see at night and i want way way better lights than i already have in the car. in other words i need to figure out something to do to get this rolling...

[IWANTSOMEBOOST]

well...are the driving lights ment to be "all weather"?

can they take rain and snow and all the goods of the messed up ohio climate?..b/c if they can...then why not leave them open and not put a lense...allthought by doing that you would leave your lights drone to rocks and birds and such...

just an idea!

[drew93tsi]

i want to keep the car as stock as possible and i just cant get an idea of what no lense is going to look like...dotn wanny look goofy.

[IWANTSOMEBOOST]

yea it would look pretty goofy.....but if you can get a hold of some extra stock lenses....could you maybe like dremil it flat and smooth(the inside)and then maybe it would clear?i dont know :confused
