Man, I have read other getting new tails and the sealant came with the kit.

As for the elmers, I dont think that you are going to be able to use just normal glue. You'll need something that will seal up all the gaps and stuff. Check with DaveB at TownNorth and he might be able to do better than 20 dolla....

Just a though.

Why you no listen to me? Did I not tell you to get silicone? A small tube of silicone shouldn't cost $20.

2K2 Tail lamps are packed from nissan WITH the sealent.
If missing call dealer U-got them from. ONLY use the factory stuff. This is a "gasket". They will leak water into your trunk with anything else. Nissan PN# for replacement "dumdum" is B6553-89965. Current suggested list $11.59.

he got the used SE lamps from paul...

paul had to use the sealant on the 2k2 lights he bought..

Well, I called my dealer about an additional relay for my HID's.. the list was $11, he wanted $18.
