Re: Illuminating the headlight bubble?
Vandy,
That bubble in the T30 headlight is there for a reason, it is there to tell you that your headlights are working when you look at it from the driver's position at night.
In saying that I don't think you can drill the back of it to insert an LED, I think I tried doing that years ago and as I can remember, the back of it was part of the headlight lens.

Strange that the bubble is to show when your headlights are on - a dash light would have done for me!
Thats why there is a chime inside when your headlights are on and you open the car door.
I think fitting that light is possible, the only thing you can do is go through the side of the light and not through the back as Jalal mentions.
Whats the worst that could happen, buy another headlight.

Re: Illuminating the headlight bubble?
Just had a look at my T31 and it looks like you can get to the bubble from the back of the headlight.
You have to go in through the gap between the top of the indicator and the bubble. There is a kind of slightly curved surface under the bubble which you can go through. This will not affect the reflective lens of the light.
The only tricky bit is, to get the back of the headlight off.

Re: Illuminating the headlight bubble?
Top job, you can hardly notice the hole in the headlight.

Re: Illuminating the headlight bubble?
I dont think a sledge hammer is the correct tool for removing a headlight.
