How Do I Reseal Tail Lights?
#1
I bought some aftermarket tail lights a while back from someone on another focus website and was never told that the seal on one of the tail lights was broken. I have tried resealing the lights using the original seal and trying to stick the seal back on with black silicone but it is not sticking as well as i'd hoped. So, I'm looking for some ideas...

You could expoy the cover closed, and then seal it with GE 100% Silicone.

if you seal them with the moisture still inside the unit, they will still fog up and have condensation. You need to stick a shop vac in were the bulb sits, turn it on, then seal the lights while its running. I had to do this with my ANZO headlights. FYI Goop works wicked awsome at sealing, its flows almost like windsheild silicone but acts like epoxy XD

So if I use the goop I use it with my original plastic seal right?
And which type of goop... There's so much!! Lol
