you just have to add more sealer to the lights yourself and you should have no issues. I did this to my S2000 lights and a lot of my customers lights and never had any issues with water getting back into them. I ordered an extra set of housings for the G to do this with also.

I blacked out my headlights on my Civic before. I just used a hair dryer and a small flat head screwdriver to pry it open. Worked out fine, no condensation whatsoever.

I dont know if I have the ***** to do it when I get my G though.

just leave it, it looks fine. Plus when you open apart headlights like that the integrity of the headlights are lost. Trust me, I've done it on many of my own cars and different types of cars as well. I only did this on Civics, Integras, Accords....the cheaper cars ya know....

The G37 is a fine automobile; don't mess with it....

Maybe I'm just getting a little too old for that stuff too?

I'm working on developing a translucent/reflective overlay that would sit on top of the headlight covering up the amber rather than having to open up the light.
