Re: *UPDATE 6/11/14* Blackhawks' '01 Accord Coupe EX-L (56k)
Tried blackhousing headlights today. I used my defective leaky headlight as practice and it didn't turn out too bad. I did however rush on trying to pry the silicone glue off, resulting in my breaking a few clips (I can't rush!) Once I got the pieces separated the rest was easy from there. Used VHT Gloss Black High Heat Paint and did 4 coats 10 min in between each coat. However, I sprayed too much in some areas, resulting in paint bubbles on the housing. Will use these pointers to avoid damage on the real one. I might even try it on my faded OEM ones too just so I know I won't have problems. Currently siting overnight with Permatex Ultra Black Silicone sealing it up. Will be doing a water/leak test tomorrow to see how I did! For pictures, check out my Instagram!
