just make sure you seal them proplerly and leave them to dry for atleast24hours or when you go out they will fill up with moisture

Dont rush it :y:

I had mine off, rubbed down, painted, and fitted within a couple of hours,


As ollyboy_saxo said though make sure they are sealed properly otherwise they will steam up all the time

[ScottG17]

also what will i seal them wiv...... just instant gasket or something?

[Ben_L]

i used gloss black dude. then to seal it with i used like a silicone stuff, was a bit of a mess job though :y:

[ScottG17]

spot on... got some in the shed :A: are they quite hard to split the lights?

[Ben_L]

you need to warm the original sealant up and really carefully prise them appart. I used mums oven ;) took about 5 mins in the oven. Probs best to get the old stuff completely off and replace it completely. ;)

[ScottG17]

nice 1..... will try tomorrow wen i get home from work! ;)

[Ben_L]

good stuff, get a pic up when you done it :y:

[ScottG17]

Will do ;)

[Ben_L]

dont forget its just the outer bit you need to rub down, primer, and spray. you'll see what i mean once you've got the lense off ;)
