The plasti-dip will be fine - I baked the headlamps at 160c to reseal the lenses without a problem, also the back of the projectors is cast alloy - the globe holder might get warm but the whole unit is isolated from the reflector by a 5mm thick silicone washer. The projectors are 35w, there isn't much heat there - the lenses were cool to the touch after running the lamps for 30 minutes with the car stationary.

Hid bulbs are really really cool.
This is why a lot of factory installs put washers on them, as in cold/freezing climates, the headlights freeze over, so they use the washer to unfreeze/clean them.

Plastidip is used on wheels, is it not?
Wheels get much hotter than lights... Esp on the track. |

Great write up! Great pics!
But I am not a fan. Classic GC8 should be left with classic design and not try to modernise it. HID's look out of place on these old girls. Self leveling lights arent a requirement, but are sure as shit annoying when someone is coming over a hill and youre at the bottom of the hill, and for that moment their car is angled up and the HID's are shinning right into your eyes. Not nice to experience that. |
