Time it takes to cure.
Sort of. I don't use that polyurethane glue any more to hold together the headlights. Too messy and takes way too long to properly cure (in my opinion). Additionally, I think it also adds unnecessary bulk below the silicone.

But the more important thing is that it works, so I suppose that comes first

Done!!! Just need to put them on the car this weekend at Motorcepts.

Here are some pics. They look mean as hell. Looks like they're tinted but without the loss in light output. Tinted the eyebrows too. When I say total blackout, I mean TOTAL BLACKOUT.

Fugg! They look great!!!! So you're certain about no loss of light output? I had a fun time trying to flash-to-pass some dingbats with your beta testers, the pre-LCI loaners you let me use for a few days

Put them on the car already!!!

Got them installed today at Motorcepts. LCI conversion. John, you the MAN! Also got HID reverse with a switch installed today. Light output from the low beams are nonexistent. It's either the red killed the output or they're aim to low. Got to aim it higher. If not, I'll have to open them up again and remove the red on certain parts of the projector. Leave only the cutoff shield red. Will find out next week.

The MASTER at work.
