I'd like to see more pictures of that EvoX-R retrofit, output shots, and video on a very dark country road.

So id imagine while sealing headlights it would be best done in 0 humidity inside at a good room temperature? Because id think if say i sealed them outside PERFECTLY fully sealed it could pose a problem with fogging later
