bleh thanks for your help. I do try a small amount of searching before I attempt these things, however I'd like to be sure sometimes thats all. I mean next time I'll be more extensive in my searching because if from your replies, if someone has DONE something I want to do, then there's probably instructions on how to do it somewhere on this board.

 Now you're learning! I've spent hours on top of hours searching and reading. There is a TON of useful info. The more you search, the better you'll get at it, and you'll see more results in a shorter time period.

Both Milan and ExDelayed have done this. They opened up the housings to retrofit LEDs. I believe they both cut the housings where the lenses meet. I dont know if baking would be the right choice since i believe that the lenses are acrylic.

yes, cutting is a much better way to go IMO. get yourself a dremel and start triming it away, and take your time!

Alright, I see now. From this picture though, it seemed as if they both kept the lenses intact, and cut open the back.. which in my opinion would be harder to close back up, thats why I asked.

Don't get me wrong, I spend hours at night before I go to bed an dwhen I wake up just searching through Aesthetics, Maintenence and Performance. I've done almost all the mods with How-tos and pictures. I've taken my totally stock Mystique into something I can be a little happier driving, I thank CEG for all their generous help so far and I apologize to those I've offended by bringing up posts that are already there.
