1. Can i use any type of silicone, or does it have to be the adhesive one they sell at the discount stores. I know they sell the big bottles at home depot for silicone for the house?

2. I also wanted to paint the black housing inside the color of the car, can i use normal red paint or does it need to be able to take high heat like engine paint. Should i put a clear coat?

3. What would be the best product to clean the inside and outside of the headlight to clear it up a bit.

Thanks for any help

Anybody??

1. Just about any silicone should be fine.

2. Plenty of people have painted hte inside portion. I think most have have it sprayed by a shop, it does get very hot.

3. Any cleaner should work, just make sure you dry it very well. Although I dont know why you would need to clean the inside of the light.

I used reg paint to do my headlight inserts

Stratocaster

don't even touch in the inside of the headlight. It is soft and scratches very easily. Even with a microfiber towel, it will scratch. If you have to, dust it with a microfiber towel and warm water.

trust me, I learn this the hard way.

If you want the inserts to match the body, you should clear coat them after painting.

Good luck with them! They are a bitch putting in, but well worth it in the end.
