Carwash gone wild!

[alexandre]

I doubt it was the car wash's fault. They are a high pressure wash system so if anything on your car isn't secure, it'll fly off.

I know, I know. It just accelerated the process!

Holy.. If you need new bulb holders, I should have some. Yours for shipping.

Thanks man, but they're all good after a rinse in distilled water!

Alex,
I highly recommend you reseal those with bath silicone. This is what I used when I first received my lights. I took them apart, cleaned them out very well (and VERY carefully; the reflective coating comes off easy if you're not careful) and resealed with bath silicone. That shit isn't ever going to leak or fall off. EVER.

The coating is trashed, the pressure jets removed it. I'll buy some chrome paint and respray them, and seal them that way. How are yours holding up?

Can the outer lenses be opened this way?

Dario,
I didn't attempt the outer tail lights (the one with brake, turn, and running lights) as mine were in great shape.

Alex,
The seal is holding up very well. There is no additional dirt in the housing since I put it back together.

Dario, just to follow up on this, I just resealed my trunk lights and broke the amber lens in the process (I used the housing from my amber trunk lights as the one from my clears was too faded). The adhesive is very strong. I think if you bake them for a couple minutes you might be able to take them apart to clean them... But I'd do everything to avoid doing it. Maybe try out the process on the spare ambers off your parts car or something!

I'm done with the clown look now.
