sealing altezzas (faq?)

Post by killerpickle »

Okay, so I got my lovely x3 racing altezzas, and am going to install them wednesday properly. So I heard that virtually everyone has problems with condensation and water drops getting inside the lens. SO...where exactly do I seal. Around the entire seem, I would guess. I was thinking of using some clear waterproof outdoor silicone. Any ideas? Im going to take some pics of this procedure as simple as it is and post soon... later,

Every point where the clear lens connects to the black plastic should be sealed. I dont think you need to do the entire thing. Clear silicone will be fine.

that really doesnt make sense to me so ill refraise...<p>everywhere there are plastic tabs sliding into the black backing should be done. You can probably see the holes if you look at them.
