I'm trying to seal these headlights with the silicone sealant, do I need to seal all the way around or just the top half?

I followed the seam all the way around, just to be sure they were sealed. The issues isn't just the water seeping in, it the condensation that builds up inside. Just my 2 cents.

I would recommend sealing them all the way around for best (safe) measure. I had them done by a professional garage and the charge to do it was minimal.I wanted someone to install them who was had experience with the installation process etc. So far, so good. Hope this helps.

I used silicone sealant. You can pick up a tube of it at any hardware store. First I cut out a hole to make room for the solenoid, then I ran a bead around the gap between the shroud and the lens. Next I flattened the bead with my finger. Make sure you don't get any sealant on the lens itself or on the reflector.

Check the rubber gasket. If it is getting brittle, it will not seal. A cheap, easy fix.

I used it on my new car headlights no problem; also used a "restore headlight" kit from seen on tv or "renew" not sure of brand but you use various grades of sand paper & using gloves apply a ketone :sweet smelling liquid which clearifies the clear plastic of the light- You have to be sure its dry - no water and no oil so wash well let dry well and cover for overnight setting( BUT SURE YOU TENT UP THE COVER SO IT DOES NOT TOUCH THE HEADLIGHT I USED NEWSPAPER DO NOT USE PLASTIC!!!. I then used the 3M 39030 as a sealer because the directions call for you to apply a wax to seal after you are done. It works - gets rid of you "headlight cataracts" anyway. Last for "a lifetime" of about one year then have to repeat. Did this on my '99 Camry; 04 Camry & 08 Prius. Hope this helps.

I would recommend a silicon sealer when installing this item; also my application through hull on my fiberglass boat was no problem; There is adequate allowance for the thickness of any vehicle auto or marine; Just make sure that the surface is not curved when the hole is drilled in order to avoid slippage and any potential leak.

Hi Lei,Yes I will help you on this question. DO NOT Buy these headlights. I bought them for my daughters 2007 coupe DX and they were absolutejunk. After 6 months the drivers side headlight got a leak and the moisture got into the lens. They wouldnt take them back.They told me to take them out, go to the auto store, and buy sealant to fix it. I couldnt believe that was there response.I just this week replaced these with 2 new Headlghts from carid.com. Here is the link if you want to check them out. They are working great. No bulbs thought. I bought the bulbs from rockauto.comhttp://www.carid.com/2007-honda-civic-headlights/dorman-replacement-headlight-34592404.htmlGood Luck !

there is no need what so ever to put adhesive underneath. i'm in AZ, and the car sat for 2 weeks in 100+ degrees. it warped very slightly at all, and straightened out once i started driving on it again.

that is the entire headlight, low and high beam.If you are going to replace the light also replace the side light, turn signal and running light bulbs at the same time. You have to take the whole bumper - grill cover off so you might as well do them all.

Yes that is exactly what I did. The sticky part is about a half inch to 3/4 of an inch diameter. What I did was drill a tiny hole just big enough to get the wire thru and stuck the light to the inside of the headlight and tail lights. Works great and looks awesome. These things are pretty bright too.

These bulbs are not sealed like the standard bulb (having a glass cover all around). If you use these LED's, they will need to be in a protective lens cover that is water tight. Also, you may want to use dielectric grease on the socket area to prevent corrosion.

It covers the hood in between the headlights only. Due to its design, the plastic extends on top of the headlights, covering several inches of the inner corners (specifically the LED eyebrow). The only area that is actually protected is the small area of the hood above the grill. It's completely inadequate and looks pretty poor too.

they have tar like sealant around the hole where the wire goes through the bracket but nothing between the light cover and bracket.... i sealed my own with just a little silicone... took like 30 seconds per light. still flashing strong.

I kept my old headlights which has the old rubber gasket. The new ones comes with it when you buy it from amazon.

I put a small amount of silicone sealer as glue. Glued it to the dash of my car in a spot that was easy to see, ran the sensor wire through a small hole I made in the dash. My car (antique VW) has the engine in the rear so I had no problem keeping the sensor away from the engine. Mounted the sensor in the front trunk area in a place where it would not get wind while I drive. Works great.

Dear Jesus, The part that is used to fix the lights with bars of your vehicle is at the end of the lights,and we can send you a photo to show you this if you can write us an email so that we can attach a file while replying your email. Hope this can help.

I did have to draw the nut down pretty tight on my 2009 Jetta TDI which ended up bending the sheet metal a bit. I filled the gap with silicone first and ended up squeezing most of it back out. It ended up looking just fine and didn't distort the metal too much and also sealed well.

Mine is a plastic piece that goes over the bulbs. The front end fits first, then the rear end is pushed in. So, if yours is similar, you would pull forward on the rear section until it comes out and then the front end of the cover will just drop out.
