That x-acto knife hole looks doo-doo. For a 1/2" hole, find a scrap piece of 1/2" conduit or some other pipe/tube and sharpen the edge. You just made a punch. Place the cap over a block of wood and use a hammer to drive the sharpened pipe through the cap. It makes a perfect hole. You can also buy leather punch sets for less than $20 that work great for rubber and come with a bunch of different sizes up to 3/4".

Question. When setting up your cut off line is the headlight resting on the table or are you holding it ? I have a gmc same era as this but I’m pretty sure if you set them on the table they are gonna be aiming at the floor…but if you are holding them how do know your holding them the same way ? Once the headlight is sealed back up is that it no more adjusting your cut off line ?
@RetrofitSource5 ай бұрын
We use a set up on a table when aiming, we've made brackets that hold the headlight up. You can also aim on the vehicle, without putting the lens back on and sealing everything up first.
