WOOT i decided to sum up the courage and paint my headlights today......and THEY TURNED OUT GOOD!!!!......wow.... well...the only problem is.....they keep fogging up.....i tried resealing it......but what do i need to do......bake it.....take it apart again and then put it back in?!.....how many mins do i have to wait until the glue melts..... ill post pics in a sec

 

hurry with those pics

 

yeup i thought i could never do it... but i did!!!... any tips on resealing for less fogging?

 

Sweet ~ those came out great.

 

I did like 20 min in @ 125.... they will fog for the first few days until the lamps burn off the moisture from the paint and also from them being opened up. Mine foged for about 4 days and then they were fine. Looks good!

 

good stuff.....yea i drove out tonight and when i came home....only the right headlight was barely fogging.... i was so sketchy about starting it... but hey.. if i can do it anyone can!.....a great freakin mod for only 13 bucks... and 4 hours of your spare time =D

 

You should have taped off a small area behind the cornor light bulb but othr then that it looks great.

 

looks good, good idea

 

Drill a few hole in the bottom of the lens way up by the front, then toss them in the oven for 15 minutes at 250 degrees. That will allow all moister to leave and then any more that may leak through the top will exit through the tiny holes at the bottom and will not let them fog up!

 

Looks hot man. I might do this but I have two stupid questions: By blacking out your head does it diminish the light output of the headlight? And, is this legal?

PS- sorry if this has been answered.

 

dunno about legality, but it won't diminish the light output, you don't pain any of the reflectors/mirrors surfaces

 

Actaully to correct you, it does cause less light to exit. The chrome part the was painted also aids in reflecting light, but the difference is so minimal, you will never notice.....and just so you dont have to worry about that, become HID positive like me!

 

unless u have HID

 

Thanks for answering the questions. I might do this if I had some help. Knowing me I'd screw it all up and have to go out and buy new lights.
