Neg. It was only in there for 5-8 min. I wouldn't say I recommend anyone doing it though.

I see everyone is useing black sealant, I picked up clear silcone sealant. I would imagine this won't be visiable?

I'm going to attempt this tonight/tomorrow.

Also home depot didn't have krylon so I got rustoleum which apparently sticks to plastic as well, is this ok?

if its made for plastic youll be ok, if its not it wont matter what brand you got. I would also put some sort of plastic promoter on first because of the high temps. a little extra piece of mind

Good luck. It's a pain in the a@@ to do

That looks really good! Where did u get the 3m carbon fiber?

so the chrome part on the reflective "Swoop" I'm going to paint white, and the reflective part black, as well there is a triangular peice towards the inside of the car that I'm going to paint white as well. My wife did some mock up's I"ll post later ad ask opinions. IMO it looks sick as hell.

Go here:
Carbon Fiber Gear | Carbon Fiber is the New Black
Get a sheet of Di-Noc. They sell similar stuff at WalMart for the same price, but it's not 3M. This stuff worked well.

I'm shooting for this, what do you all think.

:tup: looks great bro ^^^^

Some tips for people reading this.

You don't need a screw driver, and in fact using one may bend the black plastic the clear plastic is attached to. If you must use a flat object, consider using a paint scraper or something. It's not necessary to use any tool though. I did my second one with nothing but my heat gun.

If you start at the very top of the head light, where the long plastic piece juts out for bolting down. You can heat that part up with your gun and eventually pop the top off, which breaks the seal. From there you gradually heat both sides and just sort of peel the clear part off slowly. This protects the shape of the bottom piece it's attached to and doesn't damage your headlights at all. Hope this helps someone.

I like!:tup:

:iagree:No tools, heat and hands only!!

Now that we've done this, wife said she would do it for forum members for a price, you pay shipping of course. If anyone isn't real handy but doesn't want to pay out the wazooh for painted headlights.

We will use krylon paint (any color you want, my ace hardware has a ton of them), and the same sealant as the OP. Turn around time might be 7-10 days upon receiving. Also we will use my no tool, heat gun method, so you will get your lights back in the same condition you got them.

PM me if interested.

Last week I decided to try this. They look great however I now have a problem. Last night a big rain storm came through and I noticed that there is some moisture in the housing and my HID bulb will not ignite. I am hoping it is just a bulb and not a ballast. My next day off I am going to try to reseal the lamp and replace the bulb.

It looks like carbon fiber in the corner section with paint outline.
