Headlight modification?

That doesn't work so well when you buy it online. Then you have to pay for return shipping, which might cost almost as much as the item itself. Anyone have a caulking gun or used on before?

Haven't jumped in here in a bit as I got the feeling I was oversteeping my bounds but has no one used a caulk gun before???

First off you can get el cheapo from Lowes for under $20. You don't need the billy-badass version. Next get buy the cheapest tube of any caulk you can to practice on glueing random stuff together before blowing an entire tube of sealant on the lights.

Ok here's what you have to do in these steps:

1. Snip the tip of the tube. Be mindful that the larger the hole you snip on the applicator tip is how wide of a bead of sealant comes out.

2. The caulk gun should come with a little metal rod attached that is used to pierce the inside of the tube. This will be the most derogatory way I can instruct--think of giving yourself a cathedor. Shove the rod into the newly snipped hole of the applicator end and peirce the inside of the tube. If you don't do this you will soon know because the tube will explode in the gun.

3. Insert the sealant tube into the gun and pull the trigger until the sealant starts coming out. If you didn't pierce the tube prior to this step it will explode all over you. Enough said.

4. Get a feel of how it comes out and how much you have to apply. This is where some cheap **** comes in handy to get a feel for how it is going to apply.

And as a side note if I was doing this to my car I would use clear sealant. Just my .02
