on my old Lancer. u could put ur headlight housing in the oven and warm it up...the glue becomes 'unsticky' and u could pull it apart and paint the inside chrome black..or wutever color u prefer....has anyone tried it yet with the maxima headlights?

 

we call it the ae (anniversary edition) headlight mod. please read the stickes and faq's.

 

yea, thats exactly what you do and it looks 10 times better

 

ITs looks awesome. Do it on ur maxima.

Just an observation - is anyone having any problems with their tail lights or headlights no longer being water-tight after doing any of the red-clear or AE-mods? Just curious since the how-tos allways suggest reusing the existing glue...

 

thanks guys...i read most of the faq's...guess i missed that one eh, lol

 

its not a bad idea to add some clear silicone to the lights when they are all back together. Mine condensate ever so slightly.

 

I never had problem with either of them. only problem i have is the bumper lights. i had those blacked out, never leaked and then when i took them apart again to do them chrome they start getting some moisture in them but some little caulk might help it.

 

Aaah.. so I wasn't being paranoid w/out reason .. thanks for following-up on my question.

 

i have a problem with my driver side headlight getting condensation in it since i did the AE mod. gonna have to take it back apart next spring and re-seal it.

 

I've done 4 sets of headlights, 3 sets of tail lights, and 3 sets of bumper lenses. The headlights and bumper lights are much more prone to leaking than the tail lights without silicone..
