Rubber sealer for headlights rotted (blacked out Cefiros) replace it? Where?
SubscribeI was changing my bulbs in my headlights and noticed that the rubber insulators/sealer were completely cracked and rotted out, after only a year of use. They came with the blacked out Cefiros from the GD a little over a year ago, but I guess this is the kind of quality we can expect from non-OEM headlights and parts. It makes me wonder if it had something to do with the bulb burning out. Both sides were equally torn/rotted/dried out.
Since the rubber insulator is probably different for OEM foggy headlights, I'm not really sure where to go to get replacements. If possible I would like to get the ones from the OEM clear Cefiros, since those held up better if my memory serves me correct.....If I can't buy new ones, what would be a good temporary fix for these? Lots of duct tape or electrical tape? What can I do to recondition the rubber on these?
Thanks guys.....hopefully SyCefiro will chime in and save the day...

You are right.. the OEM headlights do NOT wear out as fast.. I thought you had a pair of OEM headlights before.. I believe the OEM headlights' rubber pieces are cover by another plastic piece. I will look for them for you... and let you know soon.Originally Posted by 95maxrider
