silicone

sup?

when you clear your lights, you use the kitchen and bath silicone...if i wanted to reopen the lights to put the orange lenses back in, is it as easy to pry apart with the silicone being there? or is it impossible?

thanks

joe

You could repry them apart if you wanted, but why would you want to?

When I first cleared my lights I sealed them with silicone and then I reopened them to paint my inserts (see pics in my sig). It was easier to open them the sencond time. The silicone isn't as strong as the black crap was.

If your car is leased like mine is and worst come to worse and they notice. Just put an amber bulb in it.

I also painted the trim in my car and I told them at honda if they wanted I would change it back at the end of my lease, the guy said not to and anything that makes my car unique or different will just make it look better to sell. I will prob buy it out at the end anyways!
