I blacked out my taillights using dremel method, but the sealant i used was silicone windor and door sealant, suppose to be adhesive, however It doens't really keep the cover together

I looking for a sealant thats much more "stickier" so it can get the cover on good? any ideas what brand and kind of sealant to use? (the factory one was really strong)

 

Dremel method? Im not sure what that is but I used the heat gun method and sealed it up with Permatex Black Silicone Adhesive/Sealant from the auto parts store. Its not the same as door and window sealant. I cleaned the surfaces really, really good first. Five months and 10,000 miles with no leaks.

 

ok thanks

 

anyone else can share what type / brand of sealant they used on the TailLights???

sounds like you ghetto fabbed your tails! Most owners that modded their lights either used a heatgun or oven to melt the adhesive in order to pull the lens from the housing. I think your dremel method will create less surface area to properly glue the lens back into the housing. And if you are able to adhere the lens to the housing you problably will have a greater chance that the lens will "fog" or even fall apart.
