New projector lights! - Toyota Yaris Forums

Terra · 06-05-2012, 12:29 AM

Hey all,

I got some projector lights off of eBay, and was wondering if you have any tips to keep them running for a long time? I've heard horror stories about moisture getting in and ruining everything.. is there something I could apply/spray on to keep this from happening?

Do you have any other general tips?

Thanks!
Ian

Just make sure to seal them very well,,,normally with projector there is silicone tube in the box....heat them up again before reinstalling

Heat them with new silicone..
push hard so it take its original place
screw the 3 screws
Put them back on the car

should be fine for a while :D

If you bought the black headlights with the dual headlight setup, I ran mine for 2 years and 3 winters with the rubber backs off of them and had zero issues...

I, too, am running the ebay projector lights and have zero, absolutely zero, problem with moisture. And I live in BC.

The passenger bulb has already burned out.. Does anyone know what type it is?
