    Hello boss. This looks amazing! You did a really good job at making it look perfect. I would like to do this to my mk5 golf. Do you remember the diameter of the clear plastic you cut out to fit in the taillight perfect. Thanks if you can help!!

    Congratulations on the beautiful videos you give us. One question, have you checked if the hot glue remains in its original state under the sun at high temperatures?

    • @arcgarage
      @arcgarage  3 года назад +2

      Thank you for support. The use of hot glue here is minimal, and I use the one with higher melting point so sun heat is not an issue...

    valeo 1k6 945 093 G is a taillight with this code, if you have a headlight, the possibility of breaking the lens is extremely high, I did not see any problems with hella etc. other brands, valeo manufactures this headlight by making molds, it is necessary to break it in order to disassemble it, I will upload a video about it to my channel.
