Glaring blue HID bulbs are NOT classy, and don't make your car look nice, no matter what that kid in the Civic told you.

thanks..it took a while cuz i was afraid of melting the plastic. but it did the job. He guys anyone know what the best way to reseal? I want to do a cleaner install. I want to scrape out a lot of the excess glue. I've read on hid forums that people have been using that nissan butyl as a replacement sealant. Like i said, i want to scrape most of the excess glue, then i want to use GE Silicone II for for windows and doors to fill in the gap on the headlight. after i would seal the outside with the same silicone...would that work? My concern is that the silicone will not be strong enough, or that it might not be able to withstand high heat.
