I just used Black all weather sealant from B&Q.
Cost about £4 a tube and has lasted 6 months so far without leaking :)

taken a lot more time than i initially imagined mate. I removed one of the main beam lights to use to template the thingys correctly before removing the rest of the lights. Right f00k on cutting them to fit correctly and take the halos which is why its taken so long :roll:

Should have them installed by friday though....well I hope so, we go on holiday next week and want them done by then! winkeye
