First 986 headlight lenses, now the gaskets. 😳

Look pretty good.

I bought a set. Over on Rennlist the seller says this batch is slightly thicker than the previous batch, which I missed out on, but should work fine...a heat gun or adjustments might be necessary. Been looking for a set for a while so at that price I'm willing to take a shot.

I just purchased the set Pelican has for $24 Pelian PN SIC-112-9A9-92-SET

Just an aftermarket gasket with adhesive application but it worked great with no issues.

YES!
After spending about 4 hours polishing my plastics, I replaced mine with some generic rubber product (details escape me now) and it was close to this price. It looked great and sealed the electrics. I put about 6 hours into the 2nd project, but worth it.

In MO those would fail a safety inspection, and if pulled over result in a ticket. Can't cover or tint the turn signals.

then of course you would lose the fog lights...or if you accidently turn them on, melt that vinyl wrap.

I dont think that picture is a wrap though, think that's the covers that a couple people sell.

Nah they wouldn't. I have turn signals and I've never used the fog lights. The turn signals are in the bumper, its vinyl wrap and Indiana doesnt have safety inspections.
