very original. I believe clear, silicon, kitchen caulk is the preferred one

i kinda like what you've done with the headlights, its definately different. you might have problems down the road if the yellow paint cracks or fades from the sun and heat (just a guess).

to seal the headlights, use silicone.

hmmmmm...in the night time those are gonna look sooooo hot. the best one i know from experience is silicone or urethane...they do an excellent job but are a little harder to apply on than most others...

i just don't understand why you would paint your reflectors yellow when you could achieve the same effect by purchasing yellow bulbs or a yellow film (for instance, lamin-x). painting the reflector would probably release some fumes and haze up the inside of your headlights and you'll have to crack it open again to clean it out.

i'll delete my previous comments if it makes you happy, 4_door_fury. it's just that some people never fail to amaze me.

you do realize that yellow bulbs reflect off of the chrome of the reflector, thus giving you a "yellow reflector." i see what you're trying to do, though.

correct. i had the noyka bulbs, and in the day time you can still see the yellow reflecting on the chrome. just not as yellow as your paint. looks alright i guess, as long as your laws dont say you have to have white bulbs

looks good, but its going to suck if a cop pulls you over and you have to get new headlamps because of the illegal yellow tint.

I actually like those..hopefully you won't have problems with the heat, but I think they'd look great, specially if your car's blue.
