Headlight help

[ey361995]

Hey guys, my right headlight has started to leak and I really cannot find the source of it, I have looked in every possible crevice and emptied out as much water as possible and tried to seal it. I guess I am going to have to buy another set, but I only need one. I am looking for a Blackhoused headlight where the amber strip goes all the way across the light. I have tried egay, but can only find sets. I only need one, any idea what website I could go to?

have you looked in to CL or your local scrap yard to see if you can find a single/set of OEM headlights? Might as well start with a complete fresh pair if you can score them for a good deal.

Ebay doesn't typically sell aftermarket headlights in singles, only OEM ones.

What did you use to reseal them?

But yeah you're better off getting a set. I would get an OEM set and blackhoused those cause ebay sets do not seal their headlights very well.

I used silicone to seal them. I was thinkin about potentially doing them myself but the whole headlight in the oven thing kinda freaks me out :/.

There are DIY's on doing it, as long as you follow those, you'll be fine to do it.

It may sound freaky putting it in the oven but it's all okay. If you still don't trust us then use a heat gun.

I think ill take it out tomorrow and heat it up and reseal it. Last ditch effort type of thing I suppose. Thanks yall

Oven trick works great! I did a set the other day just stick to the diy instructions.

Last I checked, there were lots of people selling individual OEM headlights used on ebay. The oven is a great way to reseal a whole headlight if it hasn't been previously leaking. But if it's leaking a noticeable amount, I would recommend a heatgun because you could focus on individual spots in order to seal off the leak.

Well, I finished all the sealing, wish me luck when it rains here in GA on Friday haha
Oven trick wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be
