I hope I don't either, but I've done this before and had no problems with it.

Put them back in the oven to heat up the sealant and squeeze them back together so the seal up.

Red94Celica 05-29-2007 01:12 PM

looks pretty good, ill have to look at the bigger picture when i get home. posting from my cell FTW!

CaysE 05-29-2007 08:53 PM

That looks fantastic... I can't wait to do the same to my headlights. :)

BB4_H22A 05-29-2007 09:03 PM

i did that with my headlights also.. the actual JDM black housing headlights were like 350 and the JDM chrome headlights were 200, that's pretty much a no brainer since they're identical. bought the chrome's, baked them open, scuff, spray, squish em together, and they're perfect. i thought about moisture issues too but mine have been how they are for over a year now with no problems.

looks real good man! :thumbup:
