There appears to be an O-ring around the perimeter that is used to seal theh upper and lower housings. I suppose if you removed the o-ring, you could still use clear silicone. Keep in mind though that clear silicone is not very "clear". It will not just dissappear and you may end up with the nasty looking caulk job that I portray in my pics (not as bad as mine I am sure, but once you press the two housing together, the caulk will just mush out wherever it wants not leaving a clean caulk line and you will still be able to see the caulk) I am wanting to get rid of the silicone and still use the o-ring for sealing purposes. I have an idea on how to mechanically re-fasten the two housing together from the bottom.

Somebody might have a better suggestion, but it seems to me that Clear Silicone Sealer would offer an efficient seal. This way the body color can still show through. I think to get the perfect look, they should be painted all the way to the edge, rather than just the inner housing bucket.

[QUOTE=Cozmo;1563620090]I have seen Nemisis's car before. It is bad azz!
I think the black with the top painted gray would work with my car. but I think the whole thing painted like the pics above would look best. The previous owner had this set on it and offered to sell them to me, but I didn't like the looks in this pic.
Thanks Cozmo

Are they DOT approved? Are they legal in NH? They've recently changed the laws regarding after market parts, including exhaust and lighting.
Are they brighter than the stock lamps? Pictures of the output compared to the stock lamps?

Mine are actually from Specter Werks. They originally came with black fasteners which literally showed rust from one evening outdoors after initial install. I replaced with stainless fasteners which I personally think look a bit "race-like", but definetely not clean like oem

I'm following this thread VERY closely...If you start a new thread regarding the install and fit/finish please PM me the link to the thread or paste it in this thread. At this point I'm 80% sure I'll be in on a GP for this product.

Ohhh...sorry sir!! The L5 ones and the SpekterWerkes look extremely similar....actually, didn't the guy who originally deisgend the Spekter ones go to L5 to make a massive improvement? That's what I have been hearing..but anywho It's prolly cause you got L5 rear quarter flares that I thought you got the same manufacturer headlights. Sorry!!
