Yesterday I had received a roll of butyl rubber glue that I had purchased from http://www.theretrofitsource.com/product_i...products_id=792. I was searching around the internet for the best kind of headlight sealant and it seems that the majority prefer butyl rubber. I am currently converting my projectors for lhd use. After opening the package, I had noticed that the glue is very soft compared to the hard, cement like factory sealant found on the projectors. Is butyl rubber supposed to be like like that because even after I baked my headlight and put the glass back on, it still feels squishy even after letting the headlight sit for 24 hours.

Butyl will not harden. If you want it to bond well I would recommend silicone, a high build seam sealer or window urethane. Butyl works great for many other things.
