Where do i go from here?

The edge is horribly uneven and what should i do with it? Do i smoothen the edges?




I tried putting both the clear lense and rear portion of the lights together and noticed the enormous gap in between both of it. Is this normal? Where should i go from here?



What type of glue/silicon/adhesive should i use? Will water be able to make its own way in?




Awaiting your reply. Thanks a mil.


Hope i am not being a pain in the neck but i seriously need your assistance and help here.

 

i don't do this mod cause its a pita....but i would recommend you to now smooth out both edges (rather than fill the gaps with a crap load of sealant) once you paint the inner workings and smooth down the edges get sealant and a bunch of rubberbands and sealand and band it together then once sealed mask off a 1/4 -1/2 inch around the lense edge and paint it black ....

 

evodave,

thanks for the advice. If i were to smooth out the edges, would the lights look like its sinking in after i installed it on the car?

 

I did smooth out the edges befor gluing them back together. You can't tell a bit once the lights are back in. I used black 5200 silicone to seal my set. Once the stuff sets it is as hard at the original seal. Plus with black you cant see it.

 

thanks for the reply... do you have any pics you can show me on the edge of the lights?

 

I finally had the guts to do my own tails,and they turn out good.Thanks to this how to post.Maybe when i have time again I will start on my headlights.

when you say mask off and paint the edge of the light you mean the outside right? wont that eventually wear off?

Yes, mask off and paint the outside of the lights.
