Great DIY post.:thumbup:
'cept that these were plastic, not glass.

The paint was Dupi-Color Gunmetal (as stated above)

Sounds like a plan. Post pics when you're done.

Default one last question....

Where your turn signal light is, do you have it lighter color? in some of the pics it looks lighter around where the turn signal bulb is. The 3rd pic from the bottom makes it look that way. Just checking before i go about trying to do this. Thanks.

You could paint the ridges around the bulb a little lighter I suppose, but people will see your signal either way. We didn't give it a lighter coat.

UPDATE:

Did 2 more sets of headlights tonight. A set on a white '99 EX coupe and a set on a blue '03 RSX :naughty:

Here's the pic on the RSX



I'll see about getting some better pics during the day.

Enjoy!

Yes, it will. Just cut off all the excess silicon, then run a drip of silicon all the way around and smooth with a wet finger. This takes 2-3 laps around to get it right
