New headlight sealing

[C-tuck]

I see the area that needs to be sealed around the headlight..but what type of sealant should be used? These have not been opened up, I just received them from Amazon, but want to seal just for added protection.

If no one will see it then plexus or jbweld. Or a good epoxy....

I would use polyurethane sealant. Can be found at the hardware store. Something like sika 1a or Volkem, Loctite, etc

I do t use silicone much any more. The bond strength is just too low in my opinion

See here. May not be totally applicable but gives you an idea

3M 4200 fast cure or 5200 fast cure. Both will adhere to the point you will destroy if you try to get it back apart...

I know you can buy it from the retro fit source. Not sure what it’s called.

To low to hold a headlight housing on? All you need is a water tight seal and I would rather have something I can get apart. Polyurethane glues are bad ass if you want it almost indestructible.

I used windshield adhesive last time because I had some laying around and it’s fine.

Maybe some butly tape. Used it when I had mine apart to reseal them. I know your not pulling them apart but its just another option to throw out there.
