PAINED XEONONS

[smart1]

ive seen this done on a tt were by the person has painted the plastic part of the light to match the car, has this been ever attempted on a clio?

 

[jam.]

I can say with some certainty that nobody has ever pained xeonons on a clio.

suprised thought this might have been tryed

 

[jam.]

nope. never.

 

[smart1]

are the clio xenons sealed units? are the tt ones ?

Lol what colour is your car?

They are sealed but if you whack them in the oven you'll melt the glue and be able to separate them

Ive seen someone do it on dual optics taken apart and the inside painted black, trouble with the mk2 lights is they melt easily when put in the oven to soften the glue iirc, and its a big risk with the units costing so much(ish)

Also resealing is a problem, I've read a few times water will most probably get in if they are taken apart and resealed.

No, they went one step further and painted the reflectors.

i think if you resealed them with silicone you might be ok.... my cars black so i dont think it would look alot diffrent ...shame it wasnt white then it would stand out alot more like the white TT i saw that had them done

Twas a good idea tbf... Just poorly executed.

Op, I wouldn't want to be driving round with headlights held together with silicone :dapprove: is it just me or does that sound like the cover will fly off?

aqurium sealent is super strong and alot stronger than normal silicone ..this is the stuff ive always used, most likley would be a stronger option than the original glue... might be intresting to have a go at this seeing as it hasent been done before hmm

My old Dual Optics had been painted - bought them from poriordan.

Subtle-ish, but prefer the normal ones that are in now. The old ones are still kicking around somewhere.
