Default Need help with resealing headlights
hey guys so I just installed my demon eyes for my 06 headlights now I'm getting ready to reseal them and the wires for the demon eyes are in the headlights so how do I go with resealing with the wires? Can I put all back together including the hids while in the oven?

No, you only bake to get them apart.
Get some good clear 100% silicone. Apply to all mating surfaces. Mb use electric tape or the like and let dry overnight and trim excess.

IIR (butyl rubber) DEFINITELY needs to be baked. Won't seal very well without it.

And, butyl is the correct adhesive for this job.
