Just got home and found my Smoked Headlights w/ clear corners on my porch.. Now, mity2 told me something about sealing them with clear sealant stuff. What kind of sealant should I use? Should I just buy it at a hardware store? And what do I do? Go all around the headlight with it like where it meets the black part in the back? Thanks guys!

I sealed my cheap headlights and they are just like the day i bought them, thanks to the sealant. I used a clear silicone that's in a tube. If you want it to look perfect, put masking tape around where the headlight meets the housing. Leave the two separate pieces of tape about 1/4" apart so the bead will be about 1/4" all the way around. If you don't use tape, it would be half-assing it and it won't look good.

You have to do it before you put them in.

Go to the hardware store and get some clear silicone sealant. Take your time and find all the nooks and crannys. I learned the hard way. I sealed them since and they are good as new.
