    I just replaced my headlights and Im wondering where to buy the rubber weatherstripping that sticks to the top of the headlight? Its that rubber piece in between the top of the headlight and the hood. Let me know what you guys have used. thanks!

    Pull it off the old ones and silicon glue and seal them back on new ones.
    I did that and if you leave a gap between the light and hood in heavy rain you may get water flowing in and down into the rear light vents so moisture inside.
    The hood rubber bumpers can be adjusted to get min gap as well.
    Hope you sealed the aftermarket headlight seams or they will leak - many posts on that.

    Good idea. Ya i sealed the new headlights with silicone all around. They have been on a month and no leaks yet.
