thanks!!

it took us 8 hours hahaha it was about 35 degrees, but we were just having fun and taking our sweet *** time to install it...

we sprayed and drank a beer or 2 while waiting for it to dry, we also had a heat gun that made that process that much faster... i would say about 20 mins between each coat...

did you bake it in the oven to open them up or did you use your heat gun?

Thanks guys, we used an oven to do it, and belive me I also was very scared to do it at 1st but said to myself, if I F-up, I can re do it again and use more sealant lol...

As long as u don't bake it and eat it afterwards, you should be fine LMAO

Am I the only one that worries about putting headlights in the same oven I put food in? Is it safe?

haha its just as save as putting anything else in the oven, as long as you dont keep it in there for a real long time and blow it up, your fine!!

im sorry for the late reply and bump but which exhaust you talking about? the greddy or the vibrant...

not because of this, just because the bulb got too hot and expanded and screwed it up
