Swap black allen screws onto LED Pods?

Does anyone know the specs on these bolts? I was thinking it would be easy to swap them over to black ones....has anyone done this yet?

Just mask off the clear part and spray it black and be done with it ...

 

Take one out and find a Fastenal Co. near you.

They actually just opened a fastenal near me. Good call. Thanks.

 

Those screws look like they may be stainless steel....the black ones at your local store usuallly do not have any corrosion resistant plating and may rust rather quickly. I would dab a bit of paint on them. Pulling the screws out and replacing may also compromise the water-resistant seal.....just my take!

 

Get a sharpie marker and just color them in.

I've done that with a variety of things, no one knows the difference.

 

Now I'm curious if removing this top bezel would definitely compromise the seal....I planned to take this top bezel off to install yellow lamin-x film on these to match my fog lights. That way you can't see the edge of the film because it extends slightly past the bezel....if that makes sense?

 

My guess would be it would depend on what kind of seal they use, it could be a gasket, a labyrinth seal, or a thin layer of silicone....You could install a thin layer of silicone upon disassembly/reassembly. Maybe a call or email to Cali raised? I have found them to be very helpful when I contacted them.

 

Just sayin....

 

@CaliRaisedLed get in here!

Your honor the defense would like to call its first expert to the stand.


Take us to school please.

 

I am here!!
So basically everyone have some good ideas. But I have seen most people do the idea that @desmodue suggested.

 

If I remove the screws to replace, will this effect the water resistance of the light? Is there some sort of a gasket attached to the bezel?

 

No it will not effect it just have to make sure you seal it up correctly. When you open it up just make sure your not outside, just in a normal temp room when switching out everything

 

Thanks!
