hey guys, great site you all have here, I've learned a ton in the past few days.
2000 EX non Si
I need just a "little" help sealing my headlamps I purchased off of ebay. Now before you go flame the crap out of me for buying them, they were cheaper than OEM, they're blacked out like I want to do with my OEM, but this is my dd and I need headlamps on the car at all times.
I plan on trying the carbon overlay I saw on here on my OEM's soon.
But now I have read multiple times on here about the ebay headlamps leaking and fogging up. I'd like to prevent this as much as possible and I have read where people on here suggest to seal the headlamps. That is fine and I plan on utilizing that information before I install them, but what would you guys recommend to seal them with?
My local parts guy says he's heard of the same thing and to use 3M weather strip adhesive (which I was purchasing because of my door seals. I wasn't 100% on using that, and I know using shoe goo will discolor the plastic. but what do you guys use?
Also, and unrelated, is it possible to have a vtec engine without the badge's? My mechanic told me that the only thing that makes a vtec is a solenoid behind the VC? I frankly don't know and I do not have the vtec decals, or the VC on my car. So I was just wondering if my mechanic was full of crap?
