Default Glue used to seal RC 350 headlights.

Hello I am wanting to install some morimoto demon eyes into my rc 350 f sport. My question is how are our headlights sealed? Is it with permaseal, or regular butyl rubber?

They are probably plastic welded or they used a perma-seal. The Camaro's used a perma-sealer, and when many members wanted to install halo's they had to heat up the entire headlight assembly in a oven, and then cut the seam. Once apart then used a good quality silicone RTV to reseal the two halves.

Hope that helped.

Just as an FYI: The oven you use better not be your wife's, girlfriend or Mothers as it will ruin the oven, at least that is what everyone told me who did the conversion.
