also, should the Silicone in there be black?
mine is black and it seems nearly impossible to get off
I had a blow dryer on it for a good 10 minutes and it still didn't budge

^ lol ya it is. it takes a LONG time to do this mod right. just take your time, its worth it. also might wanna try the oven trick, it helps a lot even though you will still need a blow dryer to get the left over silicone.

Some will say not to do this... but i do it all the time. Put them in the oven for less than 10 minutes. KEEP AN EYE ON THEM! The only time this never worked for me is when i forgot about them and they melted and warped. You can usually pry them apart with a screwdriver.

Don't forget to turn them and baste them at 5 minutes.  |

Mine were glues omn. take a knife and gently cut and pry at it. The chrome part will come off like that, then silicon it back in place whe your done.

^ and let them dry a long time before putting them back in your car. i didn't and they fogged up inside right away, so i had to leave them in my house for a couple days to dry then it was fine.
2nd time i did it tho (to put in led's), it dryed right within a couple hours.

siliconing them is REALLY easy if they are still warm to the touch, since it tends to make the silicone melt some into a more liquid consistancy.... getting it into all the little nooks.
you might not have any issues, but most likely, your gonna have puddles forming in them w/o re-sealing them.
