same here... i love how blackhosued lights look but I am terrible at at sealing it again, it won't leak for maybe 1 year (if that) and then all hell breaks looks after a couple years

Get some OCI BUTYL RUBBER GLUE from TRS and run a strip of the stuff between the lens and the housing.

Wow, it makes the car look more luxurious

Here is mine, and I would like to thank @Lee358 for his massive help. I used a LED strip for the demon eyes.

Looks SICK bro! glad it all worked out for you. how was putting everything back in the oven?

Putting the sidemarker in was nearly impossible! but i got it in..
Looking to do something with my front "fogs" ... tint or bake open?

Yruyur · 04-09-2013, 08:16 PM

Just did the same with mine including the retrofit. Thinking of making the old high beams into amber turn signals, the side markers into blinkers only, blacking out the reflector on the stock front turn signals and turning them into white led running lights.

Did you put primer before spraying it? It just went ahead with flat black?

Minovsky · 04-28-2013, 04:45 PM

So I tried spraying with duplicolor flat black and while waiting for it to dry the color started flaking off.. Why did this happen?? There's like cracks through out the paint job now...

How did you prep the surface before paint?
