Pretty happy with it, didn't want projectors, but wanted something done. You have any pics of the RSX-S' lights?

Glad to join the club. 
It was tricky to open them , had to cook for twice as long as you did the Si's lights. BUt it all worked out.

seal them back up REAL good the first time, so you don't have to take them back off to do it again. I went through the carwash yesturday and there's no condensation in there, so I think im good now.

Re: My 5th Gen civic headlights painted (Blazin Si)
I sealed if with silicone deep in the crack between the glass and housing.
I plan on getting Vision ambers for it.

Re: My 5th Gen civic headlights painted (Blazin Si)
just a quick question....how come the rest of the headlight didn't get painted? like the inside where the bulb would be at?....to me it looks kind of funny how the outside is black and the inside isn't IMO....

bake them in the oven at 200 Degrees. It took mine about 12min before the glue became loose. Be sure and be gentle as to not crack the glass or plastic housing. Search for 99MilanoRedSi's post, he has a great write up, and really good pics

If you paint the inside part, they will not shine near as bright, if any, since the light cannot reflect out.

It will work on any headlight really. I used a flat black, mine just turned out a little brighter. Hope to see those RSX-S lights.
