              The diy is very helpful and if you don't feel comfortable get in touch with someone who has done it before multiple times.....I didn't feel so I had caz do mine they came out real goog and in less then three hours and it was raining they were back on the car and I was on my way.

                    wow excellent DIY! i am in process of doing my jdm 1 pieces right now and after taking them apart seem like they are going to be much easier to paint then the usdm headlights... i was thinking of painting them something other then black maybe a gunmetal or metalic dark red ..... i can get all types of colored high temp paint cause my father owns a chimney/ woodstove company and the paint is made for woodstoves.... any ideas on the color??

                    a pic of the process i got through with tonight..... i was thinkin maybe painting the chrome trim too??? dunno tho... any ideas would be helpful thanks-

                      when i did my headlights i didn't have to use sealant either,, i just reheated the head lights and put them back together with the metal clamps.. no leaks yet.

                            Do you need to scrape all the old silicone adhesive off before you put the new stuff on? Or does the heat of the oven kind of melt it all together? And Am i going to mask the funny lookin triangle thing at the top of the low beam?

                              it WOULD be a good idea. cuz while your doin the paint the glue will dry up b a lil hard to remove but yes it would def help out when u put then back on with some clear silicone. HERES MINE with BUMPER LIGHT off 91 CB9
                              I wasnt tryin 2 blk house the whole light i still wanted my chrome 2 show i didnt push it bk like others do.
