I've done a lot of reading into sealing lights, as I think mine are letting in some water. Much reading and researching later, I arrived here: http://www.diy.com/nav/decor/tiles/adhe ... ml-9254348

I don't like the sound of this though...

"Evolves acetic acid during cure. Use only in well ventilated areas. Wear suitable work clothes and thoroughly protect all surrounding areas."

Cool, right, I'm going to pop to MotorFactors on my way back from work (as I can make it "on my way") to see if they've got some Tiger Seal. If they haven't then I'll pop to Screwfix tomorrow to get some Silkaflex.

Cheers boys

I know. And it also takes up to 72 hours (I think it was) to dry.

Nafe i also went to B&Q and got a set or 10 crocodile clips (orange and black IIRC) to hold my rear valences to the lip for 24 hours as it dries. Left the lip indoors to dry,no smell or fumes and the warm house got it dry in about 12hours.

RTV silcone for windscreens might work

It's simply for the seal around the edge of my headlight duct, so no clamping necessary. Thanks though

And cheers LD... I'm make that the 3rd option

actually butyl tape might be better

you could cut it to shape around the lip

no messing about with silicone gun

Sikaflex will do this fine.
