Lisa are you putting the headlight covers back on?

I'm thinking about selling my old black housing headlights because I went back to stock, you saw the brown that was forming on the edges from the rubber, if you wanted another project

I will be putting the covers back on after the winter, have to mod them so they don't slide/move around so much and also gouge into the bumper cover. These "projects" are going to be the death of me! lol I will keep those in mind tho if you still can't sell them, were they homemade or bought aftermarket?

I purchased them from a member on a different forum a while ago. He hated the light output and told me the rubber seal was coming off them.

I bought them, used a clear silicone and sealed them up (never leaked or fogged) but the silicone started to turn brown.

I also do a lot of night driving when I visit my parents and I'm not a big fan of the light output (refuse to put HIDs in them too). It's not terrible around town or anything, just a lot of deer up by them and I wanna see them better haha.

I'm going to grab them while I visit this weekend and make a proper for sale thread on the forum next week I think.

Looks great Lisa, being from an autobody background, I can attest to how hard it is. Nice work !!
