Just a FYI. I'm not trying to change your mind or anything but I feel like I need to share. I followed the DIY on here and I now have condensation and some paint is cracking on both lights. NO, the DIY did not cause my problems. They were totally my fault. I didn't prep the areas enough for paint and I should have used the OEM sealant. I'm going to redo them again whenever it gets warm outside.
see you all next month

Italia....I'm in CT as well.
Planning on doing this beginning of summer. May get ahold of you for help if that's cool. Pretty much only thing I have questions on is resealing.

You can ship em out to 180custom or RaulGcustom. But baking really isnt bad, I was nervous at first too.then youll realize sealing is the main issue lol
