Unsticking headligh seal., How to make it hold properly? Options

[dudeofchaos]

My low beam seal is all loose, it doesn't hold on to the headlight. Is it usually glued to the lamp or just clipped? What type of glue can I use to make it stick to the lamp (unless it only holds by clips)???

My other seal seems all fine and doesn't seem to have any type of glue. But the one that is loose had like some kind of dried glue/whatever product on the inside face.

ok guys, i did mine with boiling water method. I just put the headlight for 5 minutes, and it came out nice.

to remove the crap from the glass i used wd40, and thats what i plan to use for the casing.

Now the reasealing part, i have researched and some nissan guys use oem butyl rubber, nissan sells it, the problem is that is black.

I have not found that stuff in gray. Now i can do black but its going to look wierd.

i dont plan to use silicone, i have heard too many sad stories, but there are good stories too.

So please investigate. I have had the projector open for 3 weeks, mostly cause im lazy. But ill get around to do it.

i will probably do the black stuff.
