roymac's 2000 Nissan MaximaTools & Material
1. 11 watt-12V, garden flood lights- found either in electrical or gardening
2. JB Quick weld
3. Tin shears
4. Scissors

Procedure
1. Remove headlight from car and open (Described in LED write-up see page 2)

2. Remove chrome turn signal/parking light shroud from chrome portion of headlight housing.

3. Use the shroud as a pattern & trace the lower round portion onto a piece of cardboard, then cut out tracing.
4. Use the circle and trace about 1/3 onto the edge of cardboard and cut out.

6. Remove plastic lenses from floodlight; this can be done by working around the lens and plying it off with a flathead screwdriver. The plastic is rather soft so don�t worry about cracking lens.

17. If you accidentally get JB weld in a visible area wait until it cures a bit before removing, or else it will be made worse and smear.
