^^^Just get some black ATV silicone from Wal-Mart. It works fine. A good way to test the seal before putting the lights back on the car is to leave them on the bathroom counter while running the shower on its hottest setting to fill the room with steam. If steam can't get past the seal, rain won't either. I have seen too many members put their lights back on the car only to remove and reseal them after the first rainfall.

OP: Nice work but this is the wrong forum for it. DIY area is for posting instructions on various projects, not for results of DIY projects!

 

sweet man!! looks very nice!!

 

thanks for the compliments.. still offering the service for people if yal are interested! Bump to the TOP! PM me for info!

 

did you do a glossy finish on them?

i did mine flat black. either way good job! pain in the *** huh? :P

Couple of mine:

 

BEAUTIFUL!!!!!

 

dayummm i love these wheels

 

Looks good man

 

im def gonna do this. My heat gun has a 500°F setting and a 1000°F is even the 500 too high? Should I use a hair dryer?

 

i baked my for 12 mins at 450 degs i believe. been awhile since i did it.

 

hey good job! and i did a matte finish on mine! heres a pic!

 

ah ok, just the lighting i guess. diggin it though.

 

as well so am i!

 

Those of you planning on using a heat gun, be SURE you know what you're doing. The slightest slip will cost you a new light (at least one). It can be easier if used correctly but it is damn dangerous for a novice, IMO.

 

yeah i'd just bake them... its easier... guns hurt things

 

I use heat guns around electronics at work. So +1 on being careful. Since the heat is so concentrated it can be 1 second of looking away when someone calls you before a fuuuuuuuuuuuuu comes out

 

true that.. the oven is very reliable if you just stick to what you do right the first time and dont try to cut corners or speed it up..

 

^^ yes take ur time!
use oven it not that bad anyways. with the heat gun u might save like 5 minutes. big woop.
be safe use the oven for even heating

 

Oven at 250 for 12+ mins on cookie sheet. Don't worry about disassembling, and use the gloves on your hands, no need to stuff into the lights to protect anything.

250 is enough to soften the sealant without risk of damaging anything else. Obviously, make sure no part of your headlight is touching a heating element.

 

these are on the other thread but i thought i should post up here to.

O and tight350z sorry bout that last pm i thought u were someone else who didnt have theres done yet. lol

anyways anyone know how the paint works if heated again? im throwing in a demon eye but dont want to paint to ruin in the oven

 

I have had no problems, been through the oven twice.
