My try at DIY painted headlights
Well thanks again to Stealth for the headlights. Here's my try at painting them black like the Harley Davidson ones. Man, I wish I was a better painter, but I think they turned out well. I would probably drop some more silicone on them tomorrow, throw them on the truck, and call it a day. But the painting is not perfect, and I may be a in a 3 way deal with 'bankrpt' and 'thenewbreed' for some real HD headlights. 'bankrpt' gets my FX2 heads, 'thenewbreed' gets 'bankrpt's projectors, and I get 'thenewbreed's HDs.

I didnt get to silicone mine up cause I had t get them in since I messed up my OEMs trying to paint them. I dont think I will silicone them. I figure if water or condensation was going to get in there , it would have in those monsoons and 3 in water.

yeah i bought mine for $140 and they said they were sealed and waterproof. then they fogged up so i knew they wereent sealed. so i let the water out(had to dill a hole to get the 2-3 tablespoons out of one, then let them sit in the sun and used a hairdryer to evaporate the rest and siliconed them. they are fine now except while they were out in the sun a small spider got in them so i have some webs in there but he didnt live long with no bugs getting in so its very little webbing. looks more like a faint glare unless you get really close
