yea i tried the whole "use the stock silicone sealant" deal, my lights looked pretty cool all fogged up like a mirror in a shower...a tube costs $4, I don't know if yalls little lights are just easier to seal but the big ones have WAY too much surface to not use another bead

And I did 250 for 10 minutes, make sure to use gloves when getting them out, and don't set them on the lens side...If your are wanting no light to shine through but it to still look like an eyelid, paint PRIMER on the inside, light dust of MATCH & CLEAR on the outside... if you're going to do it, do it right....

And I'd like to know about that trans temp gauge too...I haul so much stuff around and then my CEL keeps coming on, just for me to reset it over and over....I think maybe if I could watch the temp it would stop popping up

 

thanks matt. yea i was gonna get the sealant. which primer should i use? adhesion promoter or self-etching? also did u clear the inside part that you painted black?

 

i'll let you know this weekend about the trans guage install. it doesnt matter which primer you use. all you're going for is an illumination barrier

 

Use an adhesion promotor first when painting any plastic. So adhesion promotor first. Then self etching primer. Umm I did clear mine but honestly unless it hits the elements its not really needed that bad. Mine has some sparkly **** in it so it is rough looking without a clear

 

Ok same with mine so i will do a coat of clear

 

gonna try to take apart and paint the headlights today. ill take some pics and maybe do a write up for the eyelids

 

cant get them separated. bout to quit! not worth it!!

 

dude i did mine 1st try, people can even get them with a hairdryer

 

did you heat them up in the oven first?

 

you have to heat them up and pry them apart. and remember to pry on the tabs to get them to release too
