Black headlights Finally! (pics added! )
 
Just got some aftermarket black headlights. Thanks to ATOM :thumbsup: . Look great and in pretty good condition. Before i put them on though i want to make extra sure they dont leak. So i'm thinking a 2nd line of defense with silicon or whatever. Whats the best thing to use?

I used two tubes of black RTV sealant from the auto store when I painted mine. One should be plenty for you if you're just doing an extra bead around them for safety.

n00b question here :wave: . Whats RTV? Certain kind of sealant or just a brand? They sell it at Auto Zone? :o

Put some RTV on em. Been drying all day. Going to put them on tomorrow. Will post pics once they're on. :)

Sorry for not replying to your question--I must have overlooked it. Glad you found the RTV---they look MUCH better! Truck looks meaner.

Will look into them. Plan on going by auto zone sometime this week and look at what bulbs they have. Want better and brighter bulbs but not really interested in laying a ton of $$$ to have the best.

Thanks for the comments everyone!
