what sealant would be the beset to use? anyone knows what bosch/hella OEM sealant they use?

a guy from my area who's been retrofitting headlights for a couple of years told me that those silicone sealants which is grayish in color shouldn't be used as per his experience. i've seen some of his work and noticed the sealant he uses are black in color. he wouldnt say though what brand it was. lol

Black Flame Customs(I think they have changed their name but you sould still be able to find them) supplied me with a butly rubber sealant that worked awesome. It is black and is very moldable and softens at a lower temp than the factory sealant of most newer cars. It comes in a roll that will do quite a few headlights. It is about 5/16' diameter and a little too thick for the groove in the housing so I stretched and worked it down to a smaler diameter before forcing it into the groove in the headlight housing.

Hope this helps,

Hugh
