Default Headlight gaskets?

Does anyone know if the rubber seals or gaskets around the headlights can be replaced? If so, where can I get them? I have one-piece projectors on a 95 Civic and they look kinda worn. Thanks.

Why is there condensation inside the headlight housing?


to seal the headlight all you need is get some clear, all-weather silicone, and put some around the whole headlight. (where the two parts come together.

Yeah, that and the black part around the housing looks worn. Do I have to bake the headlights first or should I be able to just pull them apart?

yeah but em in the oven for like 7 min. on like 350 degrees.

make sure you take everthing off first tho, just put the housings in there. no rubber parts or anything lol.

and when i did mine i did one at a time.



or you could just apply the new silicone around on top of the one already on there i guess.

I'll probably take them apart so I can get all the condensation off and shi'ite. When I had my neon, you use to be able to just buy the rubber gasket that went around the headlight. That's what I was hoping you could do with these lights too.
