Properly reseal any headlamp or tail lamp and protect against moisture ingress with Diode Dynamics Butyl Headlamp Sealant! This new and improved sealant rope was designed specifically for headlamps, with a firmer composition than auto-store windshield glue.

This makes it easy to work with, without causing a sticky mess. Each roll comes with 20 feet of butyl, enough to reseal two large headlamps.

Use it to reseal any headlamp after installing Diode Dynamics LED products! Warm it up a bit, place it into the headlight channel, and clamp together while heating, making sure the lens is fastened to the housing.

Youre the man bro! Much appreciated, im about to replace the DRL modules on my wifes velar and I wasnt sure how to go about this. I hope my oven is big enough. If not, I can buy 12 new ones for half the price it would cost Range to fix the headlight themselves!

So with the breather patches, when adding them you make the hole 🕳 to the size of the patch installing and they install at the back of the light from the outside of the assembly?

One of my assemblies was causing the light to be super dim, I used pry tools and a razor blade for mine to separate it...the projector-lens is sun damaged and the clear cover is oxidized past point of repair...the oven was not a choice for me lol. My car, I can get a new OEM assembly for like $120..im sure the new cars with fancy assemblies are more expensive

confused, where does the moisture come from if its sealed? i thought there was a hole in my sealant, that's why theres condensation inside the lamp.

I've installed an ss3 as my high beam. Can I put this in the oven with it installed in the housing?

Is this better then silicon if I plan on doing a RE-design later down the road?

So that like semi hardened butyl rubber, damn i just used butyl rubber to seal my roof and its raining since 3 hours no water leaks.so now every time i see black glue, i think of butyl rubber

Hey thank you for the video and your time. Which do you feel is better Morimoto retro rubber butyl (21$) OCI Windshiel repair (13$) or your glue? And why. Thank you for your time ..

Hi What about Urethane windshield silicone will it work

I have a 2017 Porsche 718 with PDLS headlights which cost £1700 ($2300) each! Both lights get terrible condensation following an accident so they need to be resealed. I’ve searched for a headlight specialist in the UK to try and get them resealed, but can’t find one. Would you recommend trying this process, bearing in mind the cost of each headlight?

Does the temp and time go for pretty much all headlights? I’m waiting for my diode dynamics c lights for my 2017 wrx and I wanna make sure I’m opening and resealing the right way !
