Any precautions I should take when going through the process of clearing headlights?

 

Wear vinyl/latex golves so you don't leave fingerprints on the lense. Tape off the turn signal area. Have GOOD sealant. Some recommend Nissan sealant but you could use outdoor silicone from Home Depot or Lowe's.

GL!

 

thanks. I dont plan on painting them, just taking out the amber piece.

 

Even if you don't paint them, still wear gloves.

 

got it

 

dont forget the other precaution....a camera ready so if you do mess up you can take pics!!!!! and if you dont mess up so you can take pics!!!!!

 

another question, will resealing using the old sealant work good or will I need to apply a new seal to it?

 

id HIGHLY suggest using new seal my friends gs300 had some condinsation issues after we blackhoused his headlights b/c we reused the old sealent temporarily like you could use the old sealent but as a "PRECAUTION" i would recomend getting some new sealent

 

no problems here for 2-3years and i didnt add any sealant to them. i do no just for piece of mind.

 

I added extra silicon to mine...3rd one in the DIY page....I'd recomend using the heat gun method though...

 

Im going to keep it old school and use a blow dryer.

 

Wont be hot enough.

 

If you need help, I can help you since I don't live too far from you.

 

my headlights actually just started fogging up this rainy season... 1.5 years after opening them... I should've added silicone

 

^do it before the next storm hits, which is next week.
