Respect to anyone that can DIY the blacking out of the headlights. However, that 1% chance of condensation keeps me at a distance.

add twice as much sealer as you think you'll need. I modded my Yamaha R6's headlights and there was condensation in one of the clusters. Redid it and it was better, but be ready to throw em back in the oven!
