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

AlexRaymond19

I just did mine last week. What i did was buff the housing with a green scotch bright pad, then wiped it down with alcohol until there were no more smudges on the rag. Yes Kyrlon fusion is the way to go. No adhesive promoter is needed.

VHT night shades will probably be the best thing you can find locally tbh... I just did my reflectors black.

As for the silicone, just leave it in there and reuse it when you put it back together. They is more than enough to reuse and it works just fine.

This brings me to my last suggestion/comment. Use the oven! I did mine at 190-200 for about 8-9 minutes. I put my light right on the oven rack, and had no melting issues what so ever! I took one appart with the heat gun, and did one in the oven. The oven took me 12 minutes to get appart, the heat gun took hours, and i eventually ended up putting it in the oven anyway... Also make sure to stripe the light of the bulbs and ballests and that wire harnes that the bulbs are connected to. I had to use vice grips to get the little screw off that connected to silver braided wire to the bulb and ballest, that sucker was on there good!

Take your time, and have fun with it! It was a blast, though the first one was a little stressful...

PS make sure you are in a dust free invironment when putting the light back together. Got dust on my lenses, and was really upset, but i took an air compressor and blew air though the back access port!

GOOD LUCK!
