DIY: Putting the headlights back together

DIY: Putting the headlights back together

You need to reassembled the painted plastic cover and the lens of the headlight.



Do the reserve from http://www.fitfreak.net/forums/fit-l...eadlights.html

I ordered this butyl sealant for tail lights from the Nissan dealer. You can see the part number in the picture if you want to order it. Claymore also shined some light on this butyl sealant and you can get it from the autoparts store. It's the window sealant, which is also butyl based.



I dont know if you can tell, but I put a thin strip all around the crack where the butyl should go before I put the headlight back together and in the oven.



After I preheated the oven to 200C and turned it off, I assembled the headlight back together as best as I could for now and placed it inside the oven for 10 minutes. After that I took it out and just pressed it back into the crack and slipped the plastic clips back into their places. AGAIN, your oven may vary from my oven so check it in 5 minutes and see if any plastic is melting.

After all is pressed back together, put the three screws back into the back of the headlight.

Here's a pic of a completed vs incompleted headlight.
