headlights

I have seen people paint the inside of the headlights on their sc2's. Does anybody know how to do this and seal the lense back up so it is waterproof.

Re: headlights

I didn't like the glare that i got off another headlight, so i painted parts of the reflector thru the lamp hole.
Careful of the paint you use, it's gets hot and cold with lots of ultraviolet light too.

Re: headlights

What kind of paint and what color did you use? Did it hold up?

Re: headlights

I used black BBQ paint, it held up for 3 years, I think, and then i sold the car, so i don't know what happenned after. i sprayed the paint into the lid, and used a Q-tip, with needle nose pliers.

Re: headlights

I wasn't so much worried about the look, but the function. I don't like giving glare to on-coming drivers, or lighting the underside of overpasses, or the first 5 ft in front of my car.
