headlight glass removal
« on: 04 June 2008, 16:28:07 »

Hi guys i have got what looks like red and black "paint" inside my headlights. Im trying to remove the glass from the headlight surround to sand the plastic interior down then spray it but having trouble removing glass.  :-/  My mate has done it on his cavvy turbo so should be able to do it on this (hopefully!!) I have took the metal clips off but to no avail. Any help would be great.    :y

Instrukcja dotyczy rozbierania lamp Hella w omegach B oraz tzw. C, xenon, soczewka oraz zwyk[ch322]e ryflowane. (nie wiem jak wygl[ch261]da rozbiórka lamp Depo, by[ch263] mo[ch380]e identycznie)

Co potrzeba do rozebrania i wymontowania lamp:

-opalarka, lub zwyk[ch322]a suszarka do w[ch322]osów (cho[ch263] opalarka z wiadomych wzgl[ch281]dów jest bardziej wydajna-czyli idzie du[ch380]o szybciej)
-p[ch322]aski [ch347]rubokr[ch281]t, jak najszerszy (cho[ch263] nie jest konieczny)
-klucz imbus 4
-klucz Torx (przy xenon)
-[ch347]rubokr[ch281]t krzy[ch380]akowy-niedu[ch380]y oraz wi[ch281]kszy (do odkr[ch281]cenia grilla)
-klucz nasadowy 8, oraz 7; na d[ch322]ugiej przed[ch322]u[ch380]ce tak aby dosi[ch281]g[ch322]a do [ch347]ruby mocuj[ch261]cej lamp[ch281] na dole, (ok. 20-25cm )
-klej do klejenia lamp (lub co[ch347] innego co go zast[ch261]pi)
-troch[ch281] miejsca gdzie mo[ch380]na nabrudzi[ch263] klejem
-czas, trudno powiedzie[ch263] ile, ale sama rozbiórka+ z[ch322]o[ch380]enie to 1godzina na lamp[ch281]

Wymontowa[ch263] lamp[ch281] z auta.
Od[ch322][ch261]cz akumulator lub przynajmniej wy[ch322][ch261]cz zap[ch322]on!!! (w xenonach istnieje ryzyko ;popieszczenia; przez 24kV, wi[ch281]c nie ma jaj. Poza tym, [ch380]eby nie okaza[ch322]o si[ch281], [ch380]e po roz[ch322][ch261]czeniu lamp, silniczków itp., trzeba skalibrowa[ch263] system autopoziomowania.(dot. tylko xenonów).
Najlepiej od[ch322][ch261]czy[ch263] akumulator, [ch380]eby system nie za[ch322]apa[ch322] b[ch322][ch281]dów.

Wypi[ch261][ch263] wtyczki z lamp.
Najpierw wymontowa[ch263] grill. Dwie [ch347]rubki na bokach, oraz jeden zatrzask na [ch347]rodku. Potem odkr[ch281]ci[ch263] widoczne po zdj[ch281]ciu [ch347]ruby, które trzymaj[ch261] hokeje; pod lampami. Hokeje nale[ch380]y wypina[ch263] od strony grilla w bok, ale jednocze[ch347]nie pchaj[ch261]c je do przodu, tak aby wyskoczy[ch322]y z zaczepów. Maj[ch261]c wymontowane hokeje, zagl[ch261]damy w otwór pod lamp[ch261].
W [ch347]rodku (ok. 20cm od kraw[ch281]dzi) wida[ch263] [ch347]rub[ch281] 8mm która trzyma lamp[ch281] od do[ch322]u. Do góry, na pasie przednim s[ch261] kolejne dwie [ch347]ruby. Nale[ch380]y je wykr[ch281]ci[ch263]. W tym momencie lampa musi da[ch263] si[ch281] wyj[ch261][ch263], chyba, [ch380]e mamy oryginalny Xenon. Wtedy nale[ch380]y odkr[ch281]ci[ch263] spryskiwacz, oraz ew. opu[ch347]ci[ch263] zderzak, bo przetwornica oraz spryskiwacz b[ch281]d[ch261] haczy[ch263].
Oskuba[ch263] lampy z niepotrzebnych elementów, takich jak [ch380]arówki, przetwornica (przy xenon), spryskiwacze itp. Co by si[ch281] nie uszkodzi[ch322]y. (nie wolno dotyka[ch263] [ch380]arówek za ba[ch324]k[ch281]- szk[ch322]o).
Teraz nale[ch380]y zorganizowa[ch263] sobie jakie[ch347] miejsce w piwnicy itp. Najlepiej wy[ch322]o[ch380]y[ch263] pod[ch322]og[ch281] papierem (klej mocno brudzi ).

Rozklejanie:
Musisz równomiernie ogrzewa[ch263] lamp[ch281] na ca[ch322]ym obwodzie miejsca klejenia szk[ch322]a z reszt[ch261] lampy-puszk[ch261]. Je[ch347]li robisz to opalark[ch261] to ustaw j[ch261] na minimum, aby[ch347] nie przypali[ch322] czego[ch347]. Wystarczy jeden fragment ogrzewa[ch263] ok. 10s. I tak po kawa[ch322]ku, ze dwa-trzy razy na ca[ch322]ym obwodzie. Zauwa[ch380], [ch380]e klej ju[ch380] po chwili robi si[ch281] bardzo mi[ch281]kki.(sprawd[ch378] np. [ch347]rubokr[ch281]tem). (suszark[ch261] trzeba ogrzewa[ch263] ok.10 minut).

Instructions for cutting Hella lamps in omegach B and called. C, xenon, and the simple lens ryflowane. (I do not know how the demolition of Depo lamps, can be identically)

What you need to rozebrania and wymontowania lamp:

- opalarka, or ordinary hair dryer (although opalarka obvious reasons, is more efficient-that is, goes much faster)
- flat screwdriver, the broadest possible (although it is not necessary)
key-imbus 4
Torx-key (xenon)
- screwdriver and a small cross-larger (to odkr[ch281]cenia grilled)
- Key nasadowy 8, and 7; przed[ch322]u[ch380]ce so long that reached the bolts mocuj[ch261]cej lamp at the bottom (about 20-25cm)
- adhesive glue lamp (or something else will replace him as)
- a little place where you can glue nabrudzi[ch263]
- time, it is difficult to say how much, but it can demolish + submission to the lamp 1godzina

Wymontowa[ch263] lamp with the car.
Disconnect the battery, or at least disable ignite! (xenonach there is a risk; popieszczenia; by 24kV, so there are no eggs. besides, if you did not, it turned out that after disconnected lamps, etc. silniczków, you must calibrate the system autopoziomowania. (on only xenonów).
Ideally, disconnect the battery, that the system does not za[ch322]apa[ch322] errors.

Wypi[ch261][ch263] plug from the lamps.
First wymontowa[ch263] grill. Screw-locking the two sides, and a Catch in the middle. Then odkr[ch281]ci[ch263] visible after removing bolts that hold hokeje; under the lights. Hokeje be wypina[ch263] from the grill in the side, but pchaj[ch261]c them to the front, so that wyskoczy[ch322]y with hooks. With wymontowane hokeje, zagl[ch261]damy in a hole under the lamp.
In the middle (about 20cm from the edge) you can see 8mm bolt that holds lamp from the bottom. Up on the front waist are a further two bolts. They should be twist. At this point, the lamp must be removed to give, unless we have the original Xenon. Then you need odkr[ch281]ci[ch263] spryskiwacz and ew leave the bumper, because przetwornica and spryskiwacz will haczy[ch263].
Oskuba[ch263] lamps with unnecessary items, such as light bulbs, przetwornica (xenon), wash, etc. What would not be damaged. (Do not touch the light bulbs for the bubble-glass).
Now we have to organize themselves any place in the basement, etc. The best way to spend the floor paper (glue firmly brudzi).

Rozklejanie:
You have to heat evenly around the circumference of lamp positions gluing glass from the rest of the lamp-puszk[ch261]. If you're doing is opalark[ch261] to set it at a minimum, you do not przypali[ch322] something. Just a fragment of heat around 10s. And so after the piece, with two or three times around the circumference. Note that the adhesive after the time it gets very soft. (Check [ch347]rubokr[ch281]tem for example). (hair dryer must heat about 10 minutes).

Hehe - I use a better translator. ;)
This is an instruction on how to replace broken adjusters in Hella headlight.
You have to disconnect when you have HID light - to avoid electric shock.
There is some kind of glue which holds the glass (you may find it on the last photo).
Try to wedge the glass while heating it. (second photo)
These two screws are to adjust the headlamp.
Photo 4 - Alan key used to adjust the lamp
Photo 5 - broken adjuster (vertical) - only in lenses (standard headlight  are much better)
Photo 6 - adjuster - broken and new (aluminium)
Photo 7 - cleaning lenses and mirror (HID)
Photo 8 - "glue" used to put it back together. It's more like a rubber. You may of course use old rubber. don't use silicone unless you are sure that lamp will newer have to re-sealed again. Some guys tried and no way - have break the plastic




And this is original translation done by my translator (have fun ;) )

The instruction refers dissections of lamps Hella in omegas B and so-called C, xenon, the lens and usual ryflowane (standard ones). (I do not know as looks the demolition of lamps Depo, be can identically)

What it is necessary {need} to taking clothes off and dismountings of lamps:

-the gassing machine, or the usual hair-dryer (though the gassing machine from known consideration is more effective-that is to say is going a lot more quickly)
-the flat screwdriver, as latissimus (though is not necessary)
-the key imbus 4
-the key Torx (at xenon)
- trestle screwdriver - not big and greater (to opening of the grill)
-the box wrench 8, and 7; on the long label so so that she attain to the screw fastening the lamp below, (approx. 20-25cm )
-the glue to sticking of lamps (or something else what will take place  him)
-a little places where one can dirty with the glue
-the time, with difficulty to say how much, but herself demolition+ the composition then 1 hour on the lamp

To dismount the lamp from the car.
Separate the battery or at least switch off the ignition!!! (in xenonach the risk  exists ;fondlings; by {through} 24kV, so there are no eggs (no jokes). Besides, but proved {appeared} that after the separation of lamps, and leveling system etc., ited is necessary to calibrate the system (ref. only xenonów)..
Best to separate the battery, so that the system do not pick up errors.

To throw out connectors from lamps.
First to dismount the grill. Two screws on sides, and one lock at the centre. Afterwards to open visible after the removal {the photo} of the screw which hold hockeys; under lamps. Hockeys one ought to throw out from the page {the side} of the grill into the side, but simultaneously pushing it forward, so so that they jump catches. Having dismounted hockeys, we look into the opening under the lamp.
In the middle (approx. 20cm from the edge) is visible {apparently} the screw 8mm which holds the lamp from below. Up, on the front belt are following two screws. One ought it to screw off {to twist}. In this moment the lamp must surrender take out, surely that we have original Xenon. Then one ought to open the sprayer, and Ewas. to lower {to leave} the buffer, because the converter and the sprayer will be be blocking.
To pluck lamps from unnecessary elements, such how {as} bulbs, the converter (at xenon), sprayers etc. But did not appair. (one may not to touch bulbs for the can {the bubble} -- the glass).
Now one ought to organize himself some place in the cellar etc. Best to lay out {to explain} the floor with the paper {the stock} (the glue strongly dirties ).

Sticking:
You must evenly heat the lamp on the all circuit {district} of the place of sticking of the glass with the rest of the lamp-with the box. If you do this with the gassing machine then laws her on the minimum, so that you do not burn something. Will suffice one fragment to heat approx. 10s. Thus inchmeal, about two-three times on the all circuit {district}. Notice that the glue already after a little turns very soft.. (check eg. with the screwdriver)(with the dryer it is necessary to heat ok.10 of minutes).
