Updated w/ Pics: First Experience with Veil - Bad Lid

[killer23d]

I have streaks on there ops: , but they are just not as noticible unless you view it very closely. My friend says my headlights looks "Sand-blasted, and yellow with age". This try is my 3rd try here. So I have little Veil left after the accident.

I am using the costmetic wedge sponge as someone mentioned here. The pores are fewers but they sure suck up more Veil.

Dilip: My car is the typical Canadian Mazda3 with the MZR 2.3L 160hp. HID is aftermarket by Xtec 6000k. Yes, my HID is dimmer after VEIL, but it looks whiter caz of the purple tone.

Go.Mouse: I am in Richmond. I can't really say how much I hate to put VEIL on caz they are a pain. Unless I have to do it again, I wouldn't want to do it. One tip is that you should get those wedged costmetic sponge. I got them in SuperStore for $2.99. I just dip it in, let it suck up some Veil and go steady with it.

Next time let's order VEIL together. I live 2 min drive from Point Roberts, WA and it should save some on shipping. Only $2 usd to pick something up there.

Wow you have a 2.3L on your car? Here in HK the mazda 3's only come with the 1.5 Litres. It's strange that your 2.3 Litre is 160 hp. My mazda 6's 2.3L mzr engine is rated at 178 horsepower.

anyhow....Re: your HID's, does the beam seem diffused? You know before veil you can see the lights very clearly and it is sharp, the edges of the lights are very visible when you shine it against the roadside and against walls. How is it now? does it look blurry?

Is it possible to post a picture of that sponge that you used?

[killer23d]

arr.... after a car wash today.. I see VEIL chips on my light. They are just very little so I am not going to re-do it. I dun think I have enough Veil until I receive a replacement from Bob anyways.

Dilip, my HID is aftermarket add-on. I dun see much of a difference after Veil is on except it makes my lights more purple. I will have the pic up for the sponges I used later.

Here's the pic you are looking for, Dilip. Sorry I took this with my toy 1.3MP Fuji.



As you can see, the HID beam pattern is still ok.

killer23d,

OK. I have arranged with Roy to have a make-good on your damaged shipment.

Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

Have a nice Easter weekend.

I had the trouble with the lid being screwed down nice and firm yet it still leaks. I think there needs to be a more rubbery seal disc under the cap so it seals better or something..... Stained a good wooden table thanks to the leak.....

Will alcohol help clean that up? I always use gloves and handle VEIL outdoor....

No it doesn't help and to be blunt I wasn't handling it - the lid was screwed down and it fell over on the table (bumped) then it leaked.

That looks quite good, but i can't tell much from the pic. But i'll take you word for it when u say you can't notice much of a reduction in the light output. But I meant from the driver's seat.

I think i'm gonna re-do veil on my car real soon......

Let us know how you do against laser encounters!

P.s. any pic of the sponge you used?
