Default Baked Headlights Painted Black 56k Beware!

A lot of work but a lot better than paying for new headlights

I used high temp gloss black if anyone is wondering

Next up is saving up for some Tein S techs

An important tip i would recommend is to be generous with the silicone sealant when you seal it back up. I have had no problems with the headlights fogging up whatsoever and I have my car parked in outside in the university lot all week everynight.

nice but u should have left the corner light chrome housing chrome instead of painting it cause when its black it gives your corner lights a swampy look...thats what i did when i diy'd my old headlights
