"Fuck it I don't need this or this, riding dirty"

 

@boogie3478 Woke up to this mess this morning. Going to try to dry it out today but it needs replaced. Anyone out there have a 2nd gen passenger side headlamp they are willing to part with? I am also considering upgrading to a projector w/ drl light bar, any suggestions are welcome. Thanks guys!

 

WTF is going on with headlights in this thread recently?!

Sorry man I am 2nd gen but the earlier model, otherwise i would have a set for you! Good luck.

@Me. Projekt I am bout to get a set of used retro lights - what did you use to "re-seal" without having to crack open your ebay projectors? Silicone IIRC?

 

Sorry I didn't make it this weekend gents. Looks like you guys had a blast. Although I am known to bail last minute on off-road trips, I will own that reputation and try to make it next time!

 

welcome @Bluntman ... where is @chronic?

 

Try removing the headlight and drying it out completely, then resealing along the outer edge with some silicone. Might not have to be replaced.

 

No worries, thanks a bunch for the response. I'll find em if they are out there!

 

Hahahaha, that would be my boy Nick, he lives in Baltimore, fraternity nicknames that wont go away!

 

No need to reseal, unfortunately lens is cracked (can see if you look closely). Knew it was going to happen eventually but was hoping for a bit longer. Only had the truck for 2 weeks

 

Ahh gotcha. Yep time for some new ones.

 

I ran a generous bead of clear silicone around the entire headlight where the lens meets the housing and then used my finger to work it in to the little nooks and corners and then let it dry for like 4 hours before installing (glad I waited, because it actually rained that same night I put them on)

and while we're on the topic of headlights:

mine are done for the WRX, I'm picking them up this afternoon... so hopefully between the morimoto headlight sealant and I'm also probably going to use the clear silicone trick on these as well just for shits and gigs, hopefully I can break the Nova curse of the fish bowl headlight mod.

I think they look great!

 

lmao yours are good to go now right?

did you do the clear silicone trick?

 

I did do the clear silicone and it was working great through some shitty weather, but then the passenger side fogged up again a few days ago.

 

yea I would send them back to the guy who made them and have him reseal them, then when you get those back, do the clear silicone and hopefully that will create a double seal that will keep them dry

 

anybody one the coordinates for Flagpole?

 

Mornin fellas,
Ready to join the big boy party

 

lol yessir. my truck just sits at the house 90% of the time, I'll still be out / around in the 4Runner and it's going to start getting some love / mods here pretty soon... I'm going to start getting out and camping as soon as the kid / wife starts cooperating

 

Hell yeah man!!!!! those tires are great. Hopefully no more issues!
