LED Number Plate

[M-A8]

So, FINALLY I got round to tackling these screws which on many A8s just don't want to unscrew.

Looked across the globe for different solutions but went my own way.

Drilled the heads off, large bit to shave the head of completely, necessary.
Don't worry, plastic isn't that fragile as you may think, its a very tough and flexible piece.

Used some PlastixRX or something, plastic/headlight polish, to clean the lenses, compare one side to another

Got pair of these from MyLitCo - £10-£12

I use a Bosch glue gun as it gives out more heat if you leave it good 10-15min on the stand, then glue comes out almost like a thick soup, fills in the holes and cracks nicely.

I chipped off the plastic screw socket completely, finished edges on both sides with stanley knife.

Filled the holes over with hot glue.
Let it cool for 10-15min, cold day in the garage with no heating

Shaved off the extra glue with a sharp olfa blade, slice by slice until blade glides on top the lens surface shaving off last excess of glue.

Used very strong double sided foam strips which I got with my number plates.
Can use no more nails tape, from B&Q, red one.
