Red Bull's Joey Mod Complete **PICTURES & Instructions**
Hey All
Did the joey mod last night....it was pretty easy. I attached some pictures and some details on the removal and process I followed.
Removing the buckets is easy..(4) 10mm bolts and disconnect the harness.
Here is the bucket...there is tint on the lense....I used a Heat Gun and it worked really well for both taking off the lense and putting it back on. Work the heat gun on the seam, test the to see when the seal gets soft. It did not take but 5 minutes to soften it up.
I used (2) screw drivers...I used the smaller one first to start and then you can use a larger end to get the lense spread apart. Slowly work your way around and the lense will pop out on one side and you can work it off as you go around.
Here the lense seperates really easy as soon as you break the seal.
From here is easy there are (4) screws holding the chrome plate to the lense.
Scuff and clean the surface prior to paint.
I am not going to recomend what paint to use. There have been many suggestions here that seem to work fine.
Here it is finished....

Nice Job! Are you leaving the tint on the outside? I didn't tint mine on the outside because my joey mod made it seem pretty tinted as it was, as no light would be reflected from the inside, and i didn't want to deminish and light output from the xenons with a tint on it-
before:
after
red to match mirrors, calipers, S, and soon time attack on my summer wheels once they are back on and other red accents on car
Also just sprayed the turn signal bulb with the same black lightly to get rid of the amber- still blinks bright and amber!
Nice job! I enjoy following your mods,especially because its a DS/B
--getting my exhaust put on in an hour, i can't wait!!
