You sir, actually know every inch of your car. No ego , just car talk. Good luck with your channel. This will be the first channel to hit 500K with no exotic cars just passion. I dont even own a car yet :)
So I wasn't the only one to notice that. It seems to be an American thing to needlessly say "go ahead and" in the middle of nearly every sentence. In England we would say "Remove these six bolts, now you can remove this panel, then you'll be able to disconnect the electrical connector", whereas Americans would typically say "Go ahead and remove these six bolts, now you can go ahead and remove this panel, then you'll be able to go ahead and disconnect the electrical connector"...LOL
Ok I am literally doing this she thing to my 2015 GT. Thank God you did this first. Thank you for a very clear video on how to do it. Wish me luck..lol
I feel like if you titled this "how to change your 2015 - 2017 mustang head lights" you could help so many ppl. Its one of the best tutorials on RUclips
Thank you for the clear explanation on how to remove the headlights. I have a detail job coming up on a Mustang and I wanted to get the headlights out, polish them up and ceramic coat them.
Love this channel because he edits it so well and continues talking without stutter. Fully goes into detail as to what he's doing and his reason for it. Puts in music when needed and a calm personality.
you forgot to mention the 2 wheel well bolts. I imagine a couple people broke those clean off after watching this lol. that being said this is the most detailed and high quality video I've found on retrofitting s550 headlights.
Great video as usual...BUT, never use heat guns on your headlight unless you HAVE to. For example, light too big to fit in the oven. Even then, put them in a big box, and use the heat gun to warm up the inside of the box (there is more to it than just putting the light in a box and putting the tip of the heat gun there, but thats the basics). A beginner on this job will screw this up using a heat gun. Plus, those lights are permasealed. They dont come apart as easy as butyl closed headlights. For permasealed lights, 220-230 for 15 min. As long as the light isn't touching any metal, they will NOT melt. Have built countless lights, and a good 20 of those sets. And dam, you struggled pulling those lens off the housing. I was cringing waiting for the lens to snap lol. Diode Dynamics product is great stuff. Use their stuff a lot as well as Morimoto stuff.
MrDaavee do you lay aluminum foil in a baking sheet? I’ve done 2 sets of headlights successfully and one I melted my lens lol I search and search for new tips and your seems to be best, what about taillights? Just cut back housing and reseal using epoxy mix?
i lay the lights on a piece of wood. The wood is a great insulator to keep the direct heat from the burner/element away from the headlight and off the metal racking of the oven, but still allow it to properly heat up. If you have that fan in the back of your oven, make sure that is off lol. For permasealed headlights, like (GM, Ford and Dodge), lower temps for longer periods of time works for me. Every retrofitter has their own way of doing things. I do 220-230 for 15 min for permasealed lights. 250-260 for 7 minutes for butyl lights (honda, hyundai). Most tail lights have to be cut open, then epoxy back together, or plastic weld (what ever works best for you) then siliconed up. Use quality stuff. I go so far as to lay tape on either sides of the cuts before i silicone. That way when the sealant is laid down, and pressed it, i remove the tape leaving a thin silicone line that is almost laser straight. Only a few tails can be baked open, or even unscrewed apart. Older cars like the 70s. Few newer ones can too. Like the R35 GTR.
good tutorial video man.I have been doing custom headlights (car audio design and custom fab work/installation) since 1997 and I always tell people how easy it really is to DIY.I think Most people are scared they will crack the headlight glass/plastic.Your video should help car guys and girls get over that fear.Nice job man
Glad I found this channel! Thanks for taking the time to provide great Mustang content. I got my popcorn ready waiting for the next Roush Supercharger mod update.
Awesome video man. Great job going to look pretty slick must say ... my 10 year old little girl said there going to look bomb btw. Can’t wait to see done
I can see spending hours adding a blower or other useful modifications but I wouldn't waste 10 minutes of my time doing this - but that is just my opinion. That said, very informative video. You did a great job explaining the removal process. Very detailed
I am a New subscriber, made it official today.. love your channel bro however I do not own a mustang. I'm still a part of the ford family with my RS though!! Much love from arizona!!
Thanks for introducing me to this company! I was thinking about doing an HID conversion on my 08 RAM, looks like they got what I need! Might do the RGB Conversion on my next car too. Thinking about getting an 18 Charger Scat pack...and wouldn't you know it, they have a kit for that! Awesome!
I just used duplicolor "rattle can" paint 3 coats and 2 clears and looks like it was meant to be that way Helps to slightly sand the inside of the headlight surfaces also to help paint stick
I just did this on my ford falcon, absolute crap of a job haha. My oven wasn't big enough either so I used the bbq outside.(which also made the missus happier than me using the oven) 100 degrees Celsius for about 5-6 minutes and they came apart easy enough. I also didn't remove the old sealant,mi added fresh sealant where it seemed thin but I just put the reassembled lights back in the bbq to heat up the old sealant and pushed them back together hard. So far no sign of any moisture issues and my car sits outside 24/7.
How do you make it look so easy..? I’ve been wanting to do this since I got mine last July, been scared to take the headlight apart. Shit I didn’t even know how to actually take the bumper off. I thought it would’ve been harder than that 🤦🏻♂️ thank god for these tutorials. Love the vids
I put the oven on 160 and bake headlights on a small towel for 12 minutes all while the oven is at temp. I have done this dozens of times to motorcycle headlights to put angle eyes, halo’s or led strips inside the housing.
By the way, here is the kit that I am going to be running in my headlights!

Cool. I’ll check it out 👌👌
Nice
Nice it’s just like the camaro
8:19 “I like to do like you see here and shove it in the crack and slide it down” 😂😂😂

TaS FN whos that
Chrifix is awesome
TJ hunt?
And here he is, almost about to hit 500k
@@wordlife_97 here he is about to hit 1m and has a McLaren and had a viper
Not planning on doing headlights, but I do watch to support the channel
blake iddings me too
Nobody cares about your opinion
So a like from 6 and 46 others determines that is a lie
bruh i don’t even have a mustang 😂
Same lmaoo
Take a shot every time he says: "go ahead"
So I wasn't the only one to notice that.

Wish me luck..lol
Dang you do everything yourself. You're a real man
What? Literally in this video he said he would take the chrom thingys to the shop to get them painted...
I was always told if you can't work on it you shouldn't own it
Never thought I would watch ANY build from a Ford car but damn you make this car look good. Much respect from a Civic owner.
A cool-car owner that actually works on his car.
Nice.

i was just gonna suggest this, seen to make mistakes with heat guns
Awesome comment and video

Happy about how much your channel has grown!
Watching these videos REALLY makes me want the S550 even more. LOL. keep the content coming.
Last real car vlogger left!
Matt Gorman I like that hes learning and working on his own cars. for Mods like these
So SS717 Isn't a real car vlogger?
Will Meyer I hope you're kidding
Streetspeed717 is better
Matt Gorman Michael Berenis is the only real car vlogger
Very ambitious of you. I wouldn't want to tear down my headlights like that. Can't wait to see how it works.
Just like every car you've owned it will be unique just like the camaro and the vette was
It was very educational, I don’t even have a mustang but the Chanel is just fire🔥🔥
“make sure you don’t lose these push pins”...... *loses almost all of them on the Z...*😂😂
LMAOOOOO
itsjusta6 i miss the Z man....🙁🙁
You and Cleetus are the only car channels I watch.
Every video u make is really entertaining
Who would’ve known that you would get 1 mill so psyched for you dawg !
This the first youtube I see that actually works on his at and doesn’t hire people
I guess you haven’t seen chrisfix lol
Gamer24 streetspeed717 does all his car things by himself
LOL he doesn't do all his '"car things" himself, has shops do mostly everything. With the exception of a few things
Have you not seen Cleetus McFarland?
Check boostedboiz building 700hp cars all himself no bullshit and gets stuff done he’s a Honda guy done right I think you would like him
4 years later and 1 million subs. Crazy how fast you grew.

Waiting for the premiere of the new episode for Junk of the Month and watching this in the meantime, Gavinception
I just got quoted $900 by a shop in Louisiana to do all of this that you did. Will end up TRYING to do it myself lol
I can see spending hours adding a blower or other useful modifications but I wouldn't waste 10 minutes of my time doing this - but that is just my opinion. That said, very informative video. You did a great job explaining the removal process. Very detailed
I have a 03 gt idk why i watch it but i like ur videos lol

Headlights gonna look sick af
It’s amazing how you know how to do all this
I just watched this for entertainment but it's fairly informative. Well done.
Cynco I wouldn't say fairly lol. It's pretty detailed if you ask me. But then again, you didn't lol.

I really enjoy watching this ;)
Keep up the good work Bro!!!! BTW your car looks cool as hell
I just used duplicolor "rattle can" paint
3 coats and 2 clears and looks like it was meant to be that way
Helps to slightly sand the inside of the headlight surfaces also to help paint stick
Hey congratulations your channel is growing so fast keep up the great videos
She going to be unique !
Great video. your audio was loud and clear,. understood every single word of it.
Love to see that your channel's growing. Keep up the awesome content homie

I just did this on my ford falcon, absolute crap of a job haha. My oven wasn't big enough either so I used the bbq outside.(which also made the missus happier than me using the oven)

So far no sign of any moisture issues and my car sits outside 24/7.
That looks sick bro
Did my DRLS as well! Painted my amber and chrome to rubyred!
You the best youtuber! (:
Quality video again, can't wait till those views lead to you getting a garage to work on the Mustang :)
Nice was looking into this for next payday.
How do you make it look so easy..? I’ve been wanting to do this since I got mine last July, been scared to take the headlight apart. Shit I didn’t even know how to actually take the bumper off. I thought it would’ve been harder than that 🤦🏻♂️ thank god for these tutorials. Love the vids
Man I love these vids keep working hard man!!Can’t wait till other LONG videos keep it up man ❤️💯💯
Great walkthrough bro
You're gaining subscribers fast dude!
Love the vids and seeing your channel bro my man! Keep up the good work and best of luck to you!🙏🏽
There’s 12mins of my life that I’ll never get back
I put the oven on 160 and bake headlights on a small towel for 12 minutes all while the oven is at temp. I have done this dozens of times to motorcycle headlights to put angle eyes, halo’s or led strips inside the housing.
Great tutorial.! Love your channel.💕❤
I love the vids man, they are always great. You are the best!
Ohhh man I remember doing this on my buddys S550 that permaseal is no joke.
Awesome Bro. You sound like Chris Fix while removing those hahahaha.
Nice tutorial and cool blacked out mustang :)
Who else does not skip a single second of his videos? :P
Those rims are clean asf
AWESOME right to the point!!
I just bought a 2020 GT. I’m not mechanically inclined... should I even attempt this. You made it look easy but I’m not confident in the slightest.
Best way to learn is to try, worst thing that can happen is you replace the headlights 🤷🏻♂️
Bro Im soo happy I subscribed to you a while back ;)
I feel like you could do a mean Hank Hill impression. Sick vid btw
That was an awesome vid and you have way more patience than me. I love that look but not sure worth the effort.
Keep up the good work!!!!
