those who have been talking to me latly know the battle i have been fighting with my painted headlights... well i thought i would make this thread to celebrate my personal victory of sealing them through 1 rain... lol ... sad i know for somethingh that shouldn't have been that hard... lol I'm special but i dont care my lights are finally sealed!!!

 

you are special...

 

Nice I had trouble with mine too. I just bought a set of projectors

 

thats my backup this time around! if they let go they are going to be someone else problem! lol

 

Yay!!!!!
That is fantastic!
Good job

 

O boy....

been there done that. My advice? Use lots of automotive goop.

 

really lol if i had to give advice i would say avoid that stuff like the plauge! thats the reason i can't get my lights fully apart again i used it originally and the stuff dried hard so when i hit bumps it all cracked and caused my orginal leaks... i ended up getting it sealed with 100% silicon from GE i think it was windows and doors or something lol ... aparently that means headlights as well :P

 

I still can get my pass side to seal.Ive tried everything.Time for new lights

 

take them out oven bake them at 200F for 30 mins then take a plastic spoon (lol mcgiver style) and break it right after the spoon part so you have jagged plastic... scrape out all the old stuff with that its not hard enough to scratch the lights but gets the silicon out like butter... lol then just make sure u clean the edges really good with 99% rubbing alcohol let them dry 30 mins or so to be safe then lay a nice thick bead of 100% silicon that aught to do the trick! atleast it did for me :P
