For those who have made them, I am in the process now and have the bottom of the housing cut and am in the stages of sealing the bastards! Where the reflector and projector housing is exposed how would you go about sealing them? you cant just whack on silicon so should i fiberglass the bottom of the lights to cover the lights where they are exposed or what did you guys do??? need help asap!!!
thanx

I would use aluminum flashing sheets cut to shape with an epoxy like JB weld. Fiberglass cracks too easy. Silicone is just a bunch of goo.

on the bottom part we used ducttape & sprayable glue. several layers of both.

on the top part we used some fine mesh and 2 component plastic.

nope-mx3

I got some rubber from Home Depot that I think is supposed to be used with bathtubs. I cut it to the general shape I needed to fill the hole. I then tried clear silicone to adhere/seal it, that just peeled right off. Then I tried some liquid nails stuff, that was still soft and gel-ly when it cured so I ended up using this 5-min curing epoxy that I used to mount my grill to the bumper! So far so good, minor moisture from time to time, but not bad.

MAKE sure you seal them well..my first set that I made the franken lights... i experimented cutting with those..anywho..Yesterday I noticed a DEAD fly inside AHA so now they sit out of my car and im cleaning and resealing..not to worried Im planning on making a new pair for me later on. oh and there was dirt, the oines I made for a guy were sealed nicely..I wish mine would have come out the same.

Hey if you would wanna make me a set of those civic projectors for my mx.. just let me know.. send me an email give me a price and hopefully we can make it happen.. i know lot of people say you cant do it without cutting the actual car, so i dunno let me know something though thanks ...

We sealed a set with fiberglass and it worked out very well. No moister and no cracks. What kind of abuse are your headlights getting Taras?
I would use the fiberglass method. Just duct tape the hole and fiberglass the over the tape. The tape will give the fiberglass it's shape. Then take the fiberglass off the tape and peel the tape off, then cut the fiberglass to the desired shape and expoxy it on the housing. Done in a few hours...
