[QUOTE="Snorky, post: 1561179, member: 29157"] Well, decided to be semi productive today. Set the oven to 265°. Placed a strip and a blob of miromoto butyl rubber in the oven for 1 minute on parchment paper in a cookie sheet. Pulled it out. Smashed the blob and worked it into the hole that the high beam low beam actuator cables go through. Then I took the softened strip and stretched it out to fill the channel of the headlight housing so it fills it but isn't over flowing like crazy since the lense will squeezea bunch out. (Make sure the housing and lense/projector are wiped clean!!!) Worked its way around then put the light into the oven it went for 7 minutes. [ATTACH=full]40112[/ATTACH] Once out I carefully placed the lense on and started applying C clamps. The butyl rubber squeezes out [ATTACH=full]40116[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]40113[/ATTACH] While drying I carefully pulled excess bits of butyl off that are hanging. If a piece of the plastiC housing is missing in the channel. I placed extra butyl there anD smoothed it over. The results!! Voila![ATTACH=full]40114[/ATTACH] Anddd yes.. this is in the background giving me a disappointed look. Lol, soon girl![ATTACH=full]40115[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
