Nope, not just you...

My sig lists a bunch of mods, but the actual work is broken down like this..
Done by me:
Steering Wheel Badge, S/S Dials, S/S Clock Surround, S/S A/C dials, 6K HIDs, Custom S/S Gearknob, KW-AVX810 Double DIN Stereo, Leather Arm Rest, Fan Washers, Crystal Side Repeaters, Detangoed JDM'd headlights(fitted only, they were painted etc by Demon, I just bought them)

Done by Ormi
TRD Yellow ARBs, Drilled/Grooved Discs, Mintex Pads, Moley Bars, TTE Front Bumper, TRD Side & Rear Skirts, IK20 Plugs & other servicing etc

So all the difficult stuff I shout for help on Smile

My car's got an LED high level brakelight and I melted that good and proper trying to split it apart to replace some failed LEDs. You are not alone.

When I did my foglights I used a hairdryer!!

I would say its 25 degress incriments that means 9 is probaby 225 c so you would want 6 or 7 and keep checking it, or get a cheap thermometer?
