I've done headlights on 3 cars. Never used more glue beyond the stuff already in them. No issues.
What are you going to do? Are you going to paint the housings? That would be very nice on red!

yes of course :-)
reflector has been removed, holes have been filled, housing has been repainted to hide the filler, and smoked riso corners have been inserted. i'll top it off with 5400k xenons. all this is being done to virgin housings which i will have clearbra'd to avoid pitting.

Should look very nice :-)
Any chance you can take some pics of the effect the new bulbs have? Could you perhaps put one of the old lights in and take a pic with both lights on? I'm considering getting some brighter bulbs.

Ignorance alert!
I have ordered the corners, but that is as far as I have gotten.
I have a question about painting. If there is still lens adhesive on the housing, how do you paint, and not mess up the adhesive bead?
It may be obvious once you "get in there", but seems like it could trip me up when I get there...
Can someone post a picture of the de-lensed housing?
