    Resealing 90/91 JDM headlights

    Ok so my 90/91 JDM one piece headlight is getting water/condensation inside, I was wondering how and what you guys have used to reseal yours? Mine have never been opened before as far as I know. I have black-housed several USDM lights but have always been scared to mess with JDM ones, do I open them the same way? I want to reseal them to where I can open them up again if I ever want to black-house.

    Any info would be great TIA

    You can use the oven like the usdm ones, but don't set it as hot and leave it in there for a shorter time so you don't burn/melt the plastic.

    You can try a heat gun too.

    Just have to be more carefully around plastics.

      Are they as delicate as trying to get corners lights apart? Im just scared of warping.

        The plastic headlight are more thicker than the corners, so I don't think so.

        If your concerned, put it in the oven and check every few minutes to see if you can prey them apart and not have to worry about warping/ burning and melting.

        It should be fairly easy anyways, the adhesive is very flexible to begin with.

            I used clear automotive sealant at Auto-Zone. The long tubular ones that you stick in a "gun".

              i use GE scilicone type II they have it at walmart. the small tubes firm in 10 minutes and dry 30 minutes


              the big calk gun tubes take at least 48 hours to completely dry ( you will nvr use all that big tube just buy the little squeeze one )

              and ive nvr had a light leak on me. ive used it on headlights from jetta, accord, civic, g37, and my accord fogs.

                    I can tell you straight up right now...it wont melt the plastic, because i did it. i've done it with 2. 225 degrees works perfectly well. i did it for 8 mins still, i guess because i was impatience....i wanted to black house (or rather black piece lol) mine so bad. Oh, and simple silicone type II will work
