Headlights....

[Brian95SVT]

Ok I have aftermarket headlights and I LOVE they way they look and their style but.... the weather stripping fuxing blows. It doesn't sit flush like it's supposed to.... What are a good set of CLEAR headlights that will last a long time, put out a good light and the weather stripping is strong, will last, and sits flush against the body.... ???

HELP

Stock replacements...

No...

I like my current ones... I just wish the weather stripping worked... I want something that isn't ricer. Plus OEM replacements aren't clears.... they have the amber sides... I want clears...

Get some Cobra's with clear corners. Make sure you take the corners apart and redo the seal and your golden.

RTV is THE best sealant you'll ever use. People use it for everything. Gaskets, weatherstripping,etc...

 

[Brian95SVT]

It's going to TAKE THE PLACE of my weatherstripping?
Is it like a foam out spray?!?!

can you show me a pic of what it will look like?!?

 

[AaRoN]

This is the only pic I could find. This is Red RTV. They make all kinds. Ask anyone on here about RTV.

That's not going to look very attractive.....
Weather stripping fits to the body and is made for the headlight... I don't know if I want to put that on my car and near my body...

No, not that color. Get the clear. Take the headlights or corners apart, and then use the RTV to reseal it.

They aren't cracked or anything, just the weather stripping was weakly designed and fell off... There are no cracks in the actual headlight...
