Just reseal using the old sealant and make sure all of it actually forms which is where a heat gun would actually be beneficial. Just don't pry. Then after that's sealed as much as you can, go around the top of it with another form of sealant to ensure there won't be any condensation.

Did my blackout today and it looks great but I'm looking to ditch the orange reflectors in the front headlights. What are my options? The silver backing behind the reflectors can stay but I don't want the orange.

A lot of guys from myg37 wrap the reflectors in CF. It looks clean if thats your style.

I don't like that vinyl wrap at all. Think I'll just deal with the orange.

Cracking those things open is a huge pain in the ***.

I never posted mine which I did over the winter. Decided to leave the reflector orange for a bit of an OEM look....matched the shrouds to the 40th colour.

Funny enough, I baked one, then used a hair dryer on the second, only took 10 minutes longer...not a bad option for those who don't want to bake or disconnect connections


Did not use the night shade
