vince are you running 12000k rite? or u switched them back to 8000k? why dont you use some stickerflex ?

[Oblivion]

sickaflex...is da shiz.....dont use it if you want them to come though.

[Mud]

sickaflex +1

If it's stuck on with sikaflex, it's stuck on for good. Like oblivion said...bit of a cleaning job if u want it off, especially if it's on something plastic like headlamp lense.

[hojak]

Also a heads up if ur gonna use sikaflex...when spreading evenly and in the most cleanest way, use ur finger with spit on it, first date lubricant (spit ) repels sikaflex good. (not that i break enuf things to know this.... ) White spirits cleans up excess sikaflex pretty good.

Thank you for the info guys. Will try out the sikaflex + doubleside tape + Hand

went to autobarn and found out that sikaflex = silicone made in Japan ? + more expensive ... What's the different compare to normal silicone ?

[Benno-]

sikaflex is the stuff used by all auto sparky's for sealing, sticking, and general adhesive. ifs the good stuff that you know will work.

silicone is not as strong.

[Oblivion]

silcone is shit for what you want....enough vibrations and it will come off....will find that alot of stuff on your car is held with sickaflex....r32 tail lights are sealed with sickaflex for example.

[Black Ninja]

ok fair enough.. will try it out. Cheers !

Yep sicaflex on the top part of the light, double sided tape is shit as i found out halfway down the track at Willow bank no more eye lids.

Sikaflex is not like silicone, Silicone dries to a hard but flexible compositon and due to flex and expansion/contraction eventually looses its bond, Sikaflex doesnt really dry out, it stays like a goo and seals really well I have used it extensively on all types of applications from electrical to plumbing, it shites all over silicon.

had tried out the sikaflex... can't complain at all.. very sticky.. a pair gloves is a must....i still got some stick on my hand after two days..

brake clean or thinners gets it off, we have a good hand cleaner at work that removes it too.

Hahaha..yeah it happens. You'll find that using gloves sometimes is worse off...unless you have a whole box of them right next to you.
