Question
Our headlights leak.  Is there any way to fix them without having to replace the whole unit?

Answer
Hello Carol,

Yes you can, it can be a bit tricky. Do you know where the leak is located? if it is located around the headlight where the housing connects to the lens you can remove the lens from the housing, purchase some industrial grade sealant like silicone and apply an even coat around the housing (where the consult and housing come together). After you have attached the lens back on the housing place the unit in your oven in order to speed up the hardening process of the silicon. (Not all silicon products require you to do this but some do, I would consult with the manufacture of the product to see what they recommend).
After it is hardened try placing the headlight in some water to see if it worked.

If you have anymore questions, don't hesitate to ask.

Good luck,
Daniel
