Nice Work.

Having cleared and blacked out my own headlights before... I don't think I'd every do it again lol. Such a pain in the ass... but it feels good knowing you did it yourself.

try it right after you been driving for awhile.....or after the car has been sitting in the sun for awhile.....the air inside the light has to be hot to see if theres any condensation problems......mine was fine after i did it but then after about 6 months i starting getting a very small amount.....


and don't freak out at the first sign of condensation sometimes it happens when the silicon is still fresh.....if it does it should only be a tiny amount....give a little time if you see any condensation then test it again.....if theres alot then redo em......

It does look much better!!! Great job!
I need to do that to my headlights, but I need to buy new ones first. OH and I wish there was a diffuser for 99-01 models out there some where.

Nice job. I was scared like hell when I finished my lights and then went to wash it the next day to test for any fogging.
