Default URGENT! Please Help, Head Light Silicone Question

Where can I buy more of the silicone for the headlight housing? I believe last time I was opening them I wasted too much of it and thats why it's condensated. I'm thinking about going in to my Local Sorensons and asking for silicone glue!? But what kind?


Any help would be appreciated, thank you.

I used a basic grey silicone caulk in the tube from home depot... I just used A LITTLE in the groove on the light that I had a bit of condensation in... worked just nifty...

Should I just go into the hardware store and ask for a silicone that can bond two plastics?

almost any standard silicone caulk should work... but they may send you in a direction specifically designed for plastics... just don't go overboard, that stuff goops EVERYWHERE when you put the two pieces together.

You can go to a Nissan dealership and buy a headlight sealer from the parts department. I use this on my headlights and it is the same type of sealer as our stock one. Personallly I would not mix different typesof sealers.

I went to autozone or whatever and got some basic clear silicone sealant. I used about 1/2 tube per light. no condensation whatsoever :D
