Originally posted by djcaz_aomThat's completely up to you. The first set I did, were already blacked out, ie. my first set, so I didn't mask them off. They are the ones in the pics. Then the DIY bug bit me again and I did a set for a friend and after pulling the housings out of the oven (after applying the black paint), I just left the masking tape on there and applied the yellow then. I even did a blue and yellow set; all red (Don't Ask) set and red yellow.
Just use a sweeping motion and try not to put it on too thick. Then heat cure it the oven.

Okay, thanks so much. That was the only thing that was holding me back from doing it.

Nice writeup!
I'm gonna grab a set of headlights from the junkyard and do this soon. I love the way the CB headlights look black housed.

Originally posted by lonskiOkay, so NO silicone. Blackhouse corners=yes.
Last question: Once you heat up your headlights, do you get any sort of fumes or odors coming out from it? This is very important to me coz my wife's got asthma.
Thanks.

Alright, thanks.
Back to headlights.
So if you use silicone to seal the headlights when you're done, do you still need to put it in the oven to cure? What about if you need to open the headlights again, say you wanna do a retrofit, can you just slice the sealant with a cutter to open it?
