High Tower Help

[WHEELSPIN]

Ok so I was going to high tower my headlights this week, but I went to home depot to buy the silicone and I couldn't find anything that saidanything about RTV. Can someone please tell exactly which brand to buy and where to get it? Thanks everyone.

[BAD SVT]

I went last night and picked up the black hi-temp rtv gasket maker at autozone

Make sure they're sealed well. Between the two lights just should have used up the tube. I made that mistake and now i have to reseal one of them. :nonono: I hope they're not too hard to re-open with that high temp silicone on there.:nonono:

Planning on doing mine tomorrow.........do I really need the wood clamps?

clamps of sometype or ratchet straps. i had niether and just used two leather belts per headlights:shrug:

just so you guys know, baking open the headlights a second time after using hi-temp rtv is simple. soooo much easier than opening them the first time

i just used a box opener...came right open

First time or second time?

first time you have to bake or cut open the lights.

second time... i don't know. if you cut them open first time then you just use a box cutter and it goes easy. now if they were baked open then i would think you would have to bake again??
