The bulb gaskets still seem fine, so I am guessing the old ones leaked around the seam..
(old seam looks dry and crusty)

Good idea on the housings, but I'm still installing them dry..
I'm lazy, but it's also a principle thing... I shouldn't have to seal new headlights!
If they leak within 15 years, I'll be disappointed..

I'm more worried about the electrical contacts and wiring in the socket since they were immersed..
Looking a little corroded, but not completely...

The best part is how easy the housings are to remove.
So if there's any problem, it's no big deal to remove them and fix it.

Just trying to help a brotha out.
I've learned that aftermarket light's gaskets suck.

I always gotta learn the hard way!
I'll find out after I go through a carwash in a week or two..

The bulb gaskets seem loose, probably thinner plastic.. Even the headlight bulbs that came with the housings have little tension...

Otherwise the lights look/fit fine..

Spent more time replacing the cracked wiring loom..

Also, the factory headlight wiring seems thin..

Finally installed my junkyard z71 roof rack.. Side rails were faded, touched up with SEM trim black spray paint.
I did not drill the roof for the rear bracket 3rd bolt. I think it'll be fine..

Locktite blue on the threads, hopefully that will work as thread sealant...
