I think we'll be able to get it done. I believe whats gonna happen is, we're gonna end up getting all the bumpers off and the headlights out, and that second team will be over running the 1st team doing the actual lights. Which is fine, thats where the heat gun can come into play if anyone has one.

oh yeah, and use nissan rubber butyl instead of the silicon sealant. first time sealing was done with black silicon sealant, and end up opening the headlight twice because of the condensation and water leaking after carwash. second time round was with the rubber butyl and had better luck. but be very careful with this product cuz it gets so messsssy

Not trying to be a ballbuster here but offer advice. Might want to start a consumables list so no one is running to Lowes for this and that. For example, if messing with sealant maybe a good idea to pick up a box of rubber gloves?

he hasn't even been posting and probably have 10+ pages of catching up to do lol

you guys also need to figure out what color you want your housings. IN my opinion I think semi gloss black looks the best. flat black or matte black looks good until the sun hits it and it almost gives it a grayish hue

My Z is black, Im going with what you recommend Khoi, semi gloss black it is.

We can share the paint if you want, we should have more than enough.

Thats what I was thinking too. I can should be good for 2 sets of headlights, with 3 coats of paint for each set.

They used Krylon Fusion satin black in all the DIYs.
