I just bought the same exact rubber gasket. It works great. I know this is an old post but I am sure others need some new gasketing. I ordered in on amazon. $10.

This post really helped MY rubbber seal around my projector lights starting cracking a month after i bought them the only question i have about using this weatherstripping is what kind of glue or adhesive did u use to get the weatherstripping to stay around the headlight?

I use GE Window and Door sealant II. Thing you gotta remember is that that front area gets a lot of wind and air pressure and does its best to try and pry the stripping away from the actual headlights. Eventually you needs to reapply some more sealant...but that's not so tough.

Looks good! Love to see it in person. The stock seal just looks cheap IMO on an otherwise nice headlight setup. Im going to redo the Whistler mod on mine. Previously painted flat black, want to go semi gloss

i just did this and i used stuff called goop. a guy at home depot said he worked in auto for 36 years and he used it for everything. it applies like silicone but is much stronger. it seem to be working great and it dries clear. i didnt use a lot but well see how it olds but long term. also this weather stripping looks great maybe better then factory.

Just did mine about a month ago, it turned out great. After sitting in the sun for about a week, the joints separated alittle. Now the weatherseal seems to be shrinking. Has anyone else had this problem???

dang over a year old and im glad people are still using this info, i ended up reusing the old original seal and used goop and i have not had any problems with it holding up.
