I looked at my car today and noticed that the orange reflector is a real eyesore on the front of it. I'd like to remove it and at the same time cover the chrome.

I've seen numerous how-tos, but would rather work with someone who has some experience. I don't see this as a difficult process, but would just like some guidance.

I'll buy lunch, dinner, whatever... or if multiple people want to do it, we can have a mini-install fest.

MY 2006 STI, fwiw.

Thanks,

Justin

 

bring it by the install fest tomorrow. PM Mulcibre for directions

 

yeah ill be at the install fest tomorrow and ive painted my headlights recently, so i can help you out.
its a bugeye though. heres a pic:

 

Can't make it tomorrow, wakeboarding

 

Id also like some help but I usually have work when theres install fests

 

it's not too hard of a trick.. i did it by myself on my 06

 

Does anyone know what kind of sealant to use just in-case the ones already on the lights get messed up?

Also doing mines soon (next week or so).

 

its black Silicone Automotive sealan. i believe its the same one they use for around windshields.....

 

^+1. that's what i've seen used by most people who've done the mod. there's a ton of sealant on the lights already (on an 04 at least), so as long as you can keep most of it on the lights, you should be golden. good luck man .

 

i didn't even use sealant and i have no issues with it at all. it seemed they put enough of that glue inside it already, so when i reheated the headlight it sealed back up just fine.

 

after everything was finished, i just put a thin line of black silicone sealant around the housings to make sure there were no leaks that could lead to condensation.
