Title: Whilst I'm at it...
Post by: phil.b on 11 June 2011, 19:28
Currently joey modding my headlights, and ive got the glass lense off the housing. One of my lenses has got a very small hole that lets in water and condensates, just wondering as ive seperated the lense already, anything i can do to block the hole and stop it getting bigger and letting in more water? I was thinking of a small dab of silicone sealent might do the trick.
Any thoughts?

Ahh ok mate, no worries. Thanks for looking anyway!
Guess I'll just try to block it up with silicone sealant and see if it works

Yeah I was gonna sort it properly and get it replaced next month, I just thought if there's a temp bodge I can do to improve it for now I might aswell. Moneys at a bit of a premium at the mo  :undecided:
