im sure paint doesnt release vapors when they're dry...its from improperly resealing the headlights... i've never had a problem and i've done tons of headlights

thats the thing i dont think i let it dry completly. how long did you wait for your headlights to dry before reassembling? and when you put them back together after suing sillicone did you cook them again?

I painted the headlights on my civic about a year ago which is in my sig. Never had any problems.
