jesus wantone, the "pitty the foo" pic again instead this time it's real JDM's as opposed to going to driving school. LOL, very funny. It took me about 2 hours but I was working with someone who had done it already on his several months back. It would take 1.5 hours to do it again with him. -Anthony

Take it from a guy who has had to do it and then re-do it. MAKE SURE THE SEAL IS PERFECT BEFORE REINSTALLATION! I did not do this and had condensation inside the light. Also one thing that I did not have in my instructions is about the plastic gaurds in the wheel well. When taking off the plastic clip things, be sure to get the ones underneath the car. Also I used a very thin flat head screwdriver to pull them off, that worked better than having my fingernails get all dirty.

HI all,

I just washed my car today and guess what, my lights are sealed perfectly so no condensation.

I just got the lights back in, and I haven't tested the seals. I'm pretty confident after using the flowable silicone, but I'll know for sure after a couple of good washes, or rains.

Here's what they look like now:

Did you paint the black part in the headlight silver? I was thinking about doing that, too! If you did, do you have a pic that's further away so I can see it better? Thanks
