Resealing Headlamps?

[Quicker1]

Alright and so today I have finally had it with my headlamps having bugs and dirt all on the inside of them and so I took them off and cleaned up the outside but the inside of the headlamp still has a foggy like substance and so I was wondering if I baked them and separated the housing to clean the inside would they just pop back into place or would I need a special kind of adhesive or glue?

Clear silicone rtv should do the trick

[Quicker1]

Alright thanks can I just pick that up from Advance? If so about how much?

[Bluemagic]

Yup, like 6 bucks.

[Quicker1]

Alright, thanks I'll head up there in the morning and grab a tube!

$90 for a set might be a worthwhile, crystal clear, investment.

[Quicker1]

Lol maybe, but I'm currently saving for Retros!

Are you doing them? If so, you need headlights anyway.
If Classy does them, then I understand not buying them.
And why mess with them anyway, you will be fighting stock permaseal for limited returns.

I plan on buying them from Classy, I just can't stand how hideous it looks with all of the fogginess and scratches on the headlamps. Have any clue on shipping to 27332 just in case I decide not to bother with the old set I have?

Complicated? ehhh you gotta push the lens on hard for a good seal but will last and seal better

I think ill try it with pliers as demonstrated by the video.

And since nobody seemed to mention..the inside of the lenses are very sensitive it's best not to touch them unless you don't mind risking scratching them up.

I sure wouldn't bother with baking dem*****es. Wetsanding yeah, and f the rest of the idea.
I remember reading something about popping the bulb holders off the back and pouring a vinegar/distilled water solution in and sloshing around. Then using the same holes to get the water out and letting them dry. Maybe using a hair dryer to speed up the process.

Yep if you want to really f them start rubbing on the interior of the lenses.

I wouldn't bother as cheap as replacement are I would jus save myself the time and have a brand new set.

X2 on that. Buy a new set and use them until you get the projectors. Why bother. If you are going to bake, bake once and put projectors in.
Save the extra work and small dollars for the retro
