Another set of baked/black Headlights.
After doing the PlastiDip on my wheels last week, I felt a little more adventurous and decided to do my headlights. This is actually the forth set of headlights I do, 3 with prior Civic's and this once with my FR-S. I followed DarrenDriven's DIY on this just for practicality, so big thanks to him.
I blacked out everything with the exception of the high beam reflector and the ring around the projector using flat black premium paint.

That's real nice, looks very OEM'ish.
 That's probably the way I'll do mine.

Looks great... THE ONLY concern I have about doing this is.. LONG term condensation intrusion.

Looks awesome!!
Do you just use the existing goo when re sealing them or do you add silicone gasket or something? |

I bought silicon but after I was done I threw them back in the oven, re-heated the adhesive and sealed them. My car has been outside during the storm and no condensation thankfully.
