You use a heat gun to heat the sealant when opening the lense but what steps are involved with closingit back up? Do you just heat it and squeeze it back together or should you add some new sealant? If so what kind?

thanks

Hey 01 where in NC are you.. ive been trying to get some help with doing this.. Im nervous about taking off the bumper and heating up parts of my car ! I'd love some help on this if you are up for it

 

It is not that bad. I just did it a couple of weekends ago. You can use the same sealant or put new sealant on. I used the old sealant, heated the lights back up, squeezed them together, put the 4 locking tabs on and let them cool. Turned out fine. If you are worried about moisture, you can spend an extra hour peeling off the old sealant and put some new sealant down.

 

What kind of sealant? Will black silicon work?

 

^ whys it gotta be black ???

 

cause thats what i have some of, and the cars black...

 

dont even put new sealant back on....ootoo...im in charlotte

 

^-- hmm RTP is a little far..

 

when you put it back together, just heat up the sealant again a little bit, it regains its tackyness.... when you do the corners youll also notice that there are 4 clips on the headlights that also hold it together
