tvfreakazoid · 06-02-2009, 09:11 PM

Nice. I like em. When I get the 370 I will have to contact you.

Timeout.. you can get them so that they aren't always red? If that be the case I need contact info to see how much to get mine blacked out then put the red thingy in there

so anybody going to bless this site with a DIY guide for teh brave souls that want to tackle this on by themselves??

at least give teh DIY instruction(baking temp and duration) on how to open them up and seal them properly and the person themselves can paint whatever they want once they get inside or wire up what they wish..........that would be nice......

Have you ever attempted this? I ask this as it is not for the faint. You will need window tools, such as nylon sticks, and cleaners to help remove the old sealant. Then you need the proper new sealant. It can all be done, but our headlight is a large unit, and not one to be experimenting on. If you have a high mechanical aptitude, then you can achieve just about all these mods, but I dissuade the first-timers, and those who aren't mechanically oriented.

I've done about a dozen headlights, all RSX's. Zero moisture in all of them.

Did it for extra cash during my college days

I know how, I just want confimred temps and times in order to do mine when I get my 370.

thanks.

Hey K20A2_S, would you be able to share your process here?

Thanks!

Thanks, very cool DIY!

You're right, something like this for the Z would be just awesome!
