My guy used regular semi-gloss black paint, a lot of guys do a matte black for even more contrast, but its definitely awesome either way, I've seen both in person. I don't believe he did any clear over it, I think the paint he uses has clear mixed into it but I could be wrong. As for the sealant, theres actually OEM sealant you can buy from the Nissan parts department. Its a black silicone that they use from the factory to seal it. Its like $40 a tube though, but its good stuff. I'm not sure if Lexus has it available for sale, the guy that did mine does a bunch of Nissans and Infiniti's .

The company removed them, stripped them, prepped them, painted them then re-assembled and re-fitted to the car. IT was roughly £250 for all 4.

RedlineAZ those blacked out housings look awesome. I may have to pull mine apart and paint them next season

@ISFPat - did you purchase the black grille from Sewell or did you go the DIY route with some PlastiDip? I like the black/chrome (emblem) combo on yours. My car is USB and I've been debating since purchasing a lip whether or not to black out the front emblem & grille or just, just to the grille or leave it all alone haha. Decisions, decisions right

@RedlineAZ and @LOLM3 - both of your cars lock SICK!!! Redline, you're a brave man to crack the housing on your F's lights. I realize it's not as scary as some ppl might think but I'm always on the fence anytime I do anything to my car simply bc of the value of it and cost associated with replacement parts haha. Cheers to you though bc the end result looks ****! LOLM3 - without having seen it I probably wouldn't have agreed but I like it, almost looks exotic...and one of the last pics you posted (the one with the wheel off) looks magazine worthy Very nice guys!

I've baked open headlights before, but not on the F-yet. Patience and care is key. I found that resealing is the most difficult. It's best to replace the sealant entirely. I will be blacking out my my HL's soon and adding LED strips-similar to 2012 HL's.

Thanks guys! I appreciate it! It did freak me out when I had them off the car and saw what they look like opened up lol, but all worth it

I did this in '98 on my Supra's original headlights. No paint, just fixing some moisture condensation issues. It's not nearly as scary as some people make it sound.

It was more scary thinking of the cost to replace them if they were screwed up, not necessarily the process
