Headlight Mod ? I painted the ugly grey area on the back of my headlights using a duplicolor primer then paint finishing it off with a duplicolor clear coat. Is this going to hold up well ?
I let them fully dry for about a week before re-installing and everything looks great however I noticed when the headlights are on for about 10 minutes the clear start to feel a little tacky.
Any suggestions ?

Re: Headlight Mod ? I used hig heat paint, due to the heat that seams to build up.
All I can think of happening is the paint/clear may turn yellow over the bulb due to heat.
Wait and see, and don't touch the paint while they are still warm.

Re: Headlight Mod ? Yeah, I could leave it alone but it bothers me - I even swapped out my HID system on one side to see if maybe there producing too much heat but its actually the same with the stock bulbs (damn theyre dim). I guess I never realized that the housing got the hot.
What brand of paint did you use, I could always sand the clear off and repaint it.
