I have a few questions about black housings and before ya say search I did and every post someone has different ways. I wanted to knowwhat temperature you should but the oven to and how long should you keep the headlight in the oven for and what kind of paint to do the black housing and I also want to paint the highbeam reflector yellow so what paint should I use for that. Thanks for any info.

I did mine at 250 for 13 minutes and used vht engine enamel paint. And for re sealing them i just went to home depot and bought some ge all weather silicone. As for the reflector housing i think some people have used stained glass paint but i may be wrong

All those questions have been discussed at length, next time you search try using different key words. Make sure you read through all the results, a thread title is not necessarily indicative of its contents.

Use the existing Honda bond to reseal the housings, and add silicon as needed.
