What is the best way to seal aftermarket head lights?

What led's are you running in your fog lights.

I actually bought some LED pods to replace the fogs.

I'm gonna replace them eventually, some have burned out because of moisture. I never sealed them with silicone.

Hmmm,


I think I am going to go with a z71 front valance and the round fogs.

The lights you got do look stock and seem to fit well in the fog light cutouts on the lower valance.

I was looking for a Z71 valance for awhile, but never found one.

Everyone tells me I am crazy because I want to lower my 4x4 tahoe but if I do a 2/4 drop in the rear or something there abouts it should still have plenty of ground clearance.

That's right around what I dropped mine. I went with lowering keys for the front.

Hello, butyl sealant tape this is the best sealing method I have found so far. However, keep in mind that all lights must have a breathing hole for condensation to escape through, usually a circular hole covered with a black membrane. There are NO vacuum sealed lamps

To seal the lamps you need the butyl tape and a heat gun (or a hair dryer as a homemade solution). The tape softens like putty, you seal the lamp, and then the butyl hardens again. To open the headlights, repeat the process in reverse.

PS: Use gloves, is a very difficult material to remove from your fingers and nails.

Yeah see that's still plenty of ground clearance.

Thanks for the good advice.
