I just stripped out my headlight inserts for the second time. The first time a couple of years ago in a group chrome thing, but like a fool I more than likely didnt seal the glass back in with stuff that was up to the job. Now my question is, is there anyone out there who had this done and their inserts are still fine. If there is, can you pleaswe tell me what you used, because I don't fancy doing this for a third time... Cheers :cry:

I had 2 sets done and they both pitted if that's what's happened to yours? If that's the case, think it's happened to quite a few peoples :(

Think you should try sikoflex, it's for sealing up the sides of trailers, lorrys and caravans. May be wrong but that's what I would do it with. Think it may also be the same stuff that seals the rear lights in. I managed to seal the outer sun-roof trim on my williams with it and have never even had a drip of water since. I got it from Ding-Bro, If am wrong am sure someone will soon say tho.

Forgot to say, it may just be the paint that you have used mate.

No it wasnt paint i sent them away to be chromed not painted.besides i still havent found a supplyer for chrome paint.

I was just thinking last night when stripping the 2nd light . The only manurfacterd chorme plastic part in the light hasnt pitted after 17 years so me now thinking it might be worth a phone call this afternoon ill let you know what bulls--t they came out with.watch this space.

i just painted mines black and used some sealant left over from doing the thermastat, BUT got a finger print left on inside glass of one not paying attention KIDS:slap: finger print screams at me every time i look at car:headvswal

Not impressed with them, they told me they didn't want to know unless they charged me again and I had 2 sets :( Can you update this post when you've had yours done cos I want to call them again but don't want to speak to them untill they've done yours (don't want to mess things up for you ;) )
