Did you use clear sealant or black sealant to seal up the headlamps? did you use the clamp method to keep the lens secure til it dried or what did you do?

I used the sealent that was originally on the headlight. I did use a clamp, but it wasn't that helpful. I just put it in the oven, so the glue will melt and I forced it back into the original spot.

Thanks! I think LEDs are kinda cheesy in headlights. They're only for Audi's IMO

Thanks! Headlight mod is probably the best one for anyone on a budget

I'll post up some pix tomorrow lol it was helpful because I used your method of opening up the headlamps and it worked perfectly, next thing I want to do is paint my grille but I'm just worried that it won't come out smoothly I don't want it to look half ***'ed and I see a lot of grilles that look dark and light in some spots just not a smooth job.
