I'd say you're safer tinting them from the outside with 3m tint. once you open them you have a really high chance of it fogging up. 3m is a good quality tint.

 

as long as you seal them up with plenty of silicone you shouldnt have a problem with fogging. lots of ppl on this site have done it and have gone years without problems.

 

sounds like its too late for this but for future reference check out a product by VHT called Nightshades worked wonders for me

 

why would u tell him to tint them when he's in the middle of blacking them out...

anyway... yea use any kind of good bathroom waterproof-like silicone. but dig out all of the existing silicone. u can use the original stuff thats in the headlights already but theres higher chance of fogging. so dig that stuff out and fill the little valley with tons of clear silicone and seal back em. drop em back in the oven and ur good to go.

 

never too late to change! hehe

 

Yeah, you should be fine as long as you take the time to seal it once, and properly. As DsevenEm2 said, make sure you clean out the old stuff fully.

I believe some people who have done it used a silicone that is ideal for use under warm or higher temp applications... although i might have dreamed that part, i dunno.

There are DIY's on doing it on here that will tell you exactly what to do.

yeah just take your time. I didn't know how to get out the old stuff. i had redone it because my friend who helped me did a cheap job on it. atleast it doesn't fog up as much...

Just scrape it out with a small screwdriver or a pick.

 

I used high-temp Silicone that's typically used in chimneys.
