I doubt that bro. I removed all of the old sealant and FILLED it with Polyurethane which is a lot better then silicone. I just smoothed everything out on the outside so it looks a lot better. There is not one place air can get in around the lenses. If it does......then I will be owned.

thats what i thought when i did mine but moisture still got in. i used acdelco's RTV silcone sealant the black heavy duty stuff that they use on transfer cases and such. i did 2 beads, one on the inside and then a lighter layer on the outside then smoothed it out with my finger. hasn't leaked since then.

Well it is kind of hard to help from Fort Mac bro.

Here is what you would need:
- another set of headlights (makes the modding easier because you can take your time with them)
- set of projectors (preferable from an S2000)
- set of shrouds
- HID kit for the projectors
- lots of time

Here is where I got my projector parts from:
http://store.theretrofitsource.com/index.php

And here is where I got the HID kit from:
http://shop.3bspecialties.com/main.s...8.qscstrfrnt04


I would recommend going with the Acura TSX projector with say the Chrysler Crossfire shrouds. I think that would look awesome in your headlights.

You have seperate high beams from the lows correct?

Just like the Cobalt eh? Well then you would need a Bi-xenon projector and a single xenon harness as well....same setup I have. How much room do you have in the lens where the projector would go?

I would go with the FX35 Bi-xenon projectors then, they are the same ones as I have. Very nice projectors.

The BUBBLE collapsed from the weight of the snow, they dont know why because there has been much heavier snow falls before. It should be back up by the end of February. but all the games are rescheduled.

Nice. I've been playing since I was 5... holy like 19 years And I;ve been playing indoor for 10 years.

Thats crazy about the roof. I've played there many a times in tournements. My most memorable tournement was there. We came into it as the lowest seed and ened up beating the top seeded Calgary celtic team in Round Robin play and went on to win bronze!
