Black Headlight Trim

I kinda skimmed the thread, so forgive me if I'm repeating someone elses comments.

Someone mentioned that those headlights should come stock. I believe canadian p5's do come with them like that, from the factory. Mine did.

Lovin the blackouts! GhostP5 - Lovin the white ride man, looks really clean! Mine is yellow and I'm thinking my housings would look good black, too. I did this mod to my Civic and they look good, but what kind of sealant is used by the manufacturer? The Civics have a thick, almost caulking-like sealant that you can use over.

Canadian 2002, 2002.5 get chrome housings.

Canadian 2003 P5's get black housings.

U.S. 2002, 2002.5, and 2003 P5's get chrome.

here is my stock 2003 p5 headlight housing:

Have any of you guys thought of importing the housings from canada, to save having to worry about re-sealing? I'm not even sure what the price tag is on them.

I considered buying em from Canada, or even searching some Canadian junk dealers online. But I'm looking for a more satin/flat finish on mine. It looks like the Canadian P5 headlight housings are simply moulded in black plastic... not painted. Correct me if I am mistaken?

Canadian headlights are about $325 US each. Much cheaper to do it yourself. If you bake them after putting them back together, they will seal correctly.

Trying mashing them together really good after baking while they are warm. Maybe extra silacone will help. Make sure you get clear.

I want the black housing but I really dont wanna bake my lights, and canadian lights are too expensive. Clear for now.

you can bake it, but I use a heat gun instead. we couldn't find an oven avail. at the time. 20 bucks for sandpaper/paint/glue from wal-mart is all you need.
