Shady 0 Report post Posted October 10, 2009 Oh bugger. After putting my headlights back in, this bit here ended up falling off. Just put the bulbs in before and then it dropped off. Since it reaches High Temps, what glue should I use? Anyone suggestions? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kerry 10 Report post Posted October 10, 2009 i would probably use a body sealer from a paint shop if i was doing it man, altho im sure arildite will be ok Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shady 0 Report post Posted October 10, 2009 It wouldnt melt? Cos these heat up pretty fast. That arildite is expensive though. Guess its worth a try...its good though, we used it on the fridge on one of the little nobby bits that hold the plastic trays on the door....never broke again even while pushing on it.

Guest FrantiC Report post Posted October 11, 2009 Something that seals too.. They need to be sealed properly or the lenses will fog up and have condensation all inside them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shady 0 Report post Posted October 11, 2009 (edited) Just used some sealant mum got from her work ages ago. Made sure it was fully covered & dry before reinstalling. If it doesnt seal good & get condensation, I will just pull apart again, clean it up & get another glue. Just dont have the $ until payday to buy anything so just used the sealant stuff. Hope it works. Fingers crossed :L Can always reglue it another day. But thanks for the suggestions guys. Edited October 11, 2009 by Shady Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lucan 196 Report post Posted October 11, 2009 Is that an OEM Hedlight? Mine look diffrent, have a little screw type set-up etc? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shady 0 Report post Posted October 11, 2009 I would assume it is? Havent changed the lights. Previous owner might have? What year is yours? Mine is '88 F/L 318i. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lucan 196 Report post Posted October 11, 2009 (edited) Yea they dont look practical, have to glue every time you change the bulbs? :s Mines an 89 325i Edit: just realised you may have pulled the bulb housing completely off? instead of unscrewing the back piece?

Shady 0 Report post Posted October 11, 2009 Oh nah. I know what you mean. The part that broke off, is meant to stay there. And you twist a plastic bit that the cable goes thru which pops off and the bulb then slides in the middle as you can see it popping out in the front. Will get some photos tomorrow.
