You've ruined it now. You should have used a special silicone gasket. Obviously you don't no what you're doing and the light will clog up with the excess RTV you foolishly used!!!!!

 

The bead I ran was very thin, like about 1/16 of an inch, did not see it squishing out the sides.

Do agree that I don't know what I'm doing, being an off duty village idiot. This wasn't covered in the RAVE. Just saw how to remove and replace the entire assembly as a unit.

How will this clog up the light? Are there small drains built in there?

My black outer rubber gasket did have what I thought was mud (dirt, water, dryrot) on the inner surfaces in some areas, cleaned that away.

 

Savannah!!! Come on! Don't you know LRDII is the master of sealants! No one who knows anything uses RTV. It causes total destruction in ALL uses. Your lights will fail, the ice caps will melt and we all will be relegated to to that nether world of inopporatibility because you chose RTV over a magical silicone sealant.

 

He's mocking you warning about using rtv as engine gaskets, that's what I got out of it. I don't know why as that is a serious warning about improper use of rtv.

 

Or I guess he's just jabing at lrd2

 

It's something of an inside joke.

 

We need to start using italics when we are being sarcastic

 

I don't know if I can easily change fonts on an iPhone. But I bet LRDII knows!!!!

 

I remember the thread. That is a various concern with rtv, it don't mean we shouldn't use it, just use is correctly.

 

I don't know how to change fonts on my iPhone but I bet LRDII does!!!!
