DIY: how to make your headlights black housing with 20 bucks...

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.
