RICKS DIFFUSERS
just allow ample time in the oven to dry any moisture and melt the silicon seal into a nice even bead that will seal nicely. Did it on my eclipse to repaint the housing and take the amber reflector out.
By the way that was the nice part about the eclipse they all had JDM headlights but added the amber reflected with a screw for USDM so there was no buying new difusers.
This was years ago and they are still yet to leak or get water spots inside. Take your time and do it right and it will come out right

Nice work Puddy.
Kosoku, I had the opportunity to see Rick's contractor do the work on my headlights. It was obvious to me that he had done many, many sets and I was impressed by his technique and attention to detail. He is a well known S2k owner in the Mid-Atlantic club and I would certainly trust him to do the diffusers.
Now, if you are going to paint the bodies.... well Puddy's look gorgeous!

I did about 5 sets total including my own. 
It's not hard at all really... its just the time it takes for baking.
To avoid water leakage.. I just bought two tubes of silicone, and went around an extra time for sealage after it was done. Never had a set leak.

I do not use silicone, I use black RTV sealant & gasket maker. It is more stable and heat tolerant. It looks just like the factory urethane and it is compatible. I use much less than a tube to seal both lights. Once complete there is no trace of any tampering with the light, it is if no one was there
And never a leak!!I have a way to fix broke tabs, lens polish, and whatever else they may need. I can make junk lights into usable again. The RSX lights are about the most difficult of all I have done.

Take your time, put a little extra silicone, let it fully dry.
