Those of you wanting PTM with OEM paint I would request that you have it matched to your paint and send me the can. This ways its the closest match. Otherwise Duplicolor is very close to begin with.
I'll PM you on my paint...

Have you checked the rubber boot that goes around the headlight bulb to make sure its seated all the way. I know you have those HID bulbs so that rubber boot might not be seating properly. You can try adding some silicone around there. Is the gasket still on the other bulbs?

PM me and let me know what else I can do to help you out. I have some of those silica packets you find in electronics packaging to keep moisture out if you want I can mail you some of those as well...




SpikeStrider - Sent you a response about your paint

Packets - Looking good man. Glad to hear you like em.

Sorry. I thought I responded. Painting fogs will be 25 bucks. Shipping shouldnt be much more than 10 bucks each way.

Your best bet is to send it to me and include a return shipping label inside the box.

Thanks guys.. If it is too much, I'll just change it. I'm still trying to decide if when I put on my fogs, do I PTM the brackets... Thus the fogs are still in a box... upgraded to a fog bumper when I whacked the deer..

HIDs actually run cooler than a stock bulb so no issues there.


As for those other lights they are gone already.

Is there anyway to bet Gloss black lights with some flat black accents? like the bowls kinda stick out in some spots or whatever and you paint those, think you could do those flat black on the big and small bowls (still keeping them chrome in the back?) and do the rest gloss black?

Hope i explained that well enough. lol
