Did i completely mess up my DIY Halo install [AAC]
I already sent this to aacstyle in a pm, but i thought id get others opinions too.
2010 2LT Camaro RS. I watched the DIY videos and tried to do it myself. I noticed it was extremely rough and the plastic was barely liquified, but i tried to pry it open anyway.. Eventually I got it, but I'm very worried I completely ruined the housing seal in the process. Here are some pictures: Thanks.       [/QUOTE]

I plan to re-heat it and shape it up, then drown it in silicone.. But I'm hoping someone whos done this before can stop in and tell me if its hopeless. I've got a bunch of test-tanks at my work to see if its water-proof and nothing can get in..

Never done it before, but i would think as long as you didnt break the front lense you might be good. |

Thats how mine looked too
Reheat it and try molding it back the best you can and remove all the pieces you can. Next silcone the crap out of it, nobody can see it so put alot and make sure its sealed

the factory seal on one of mine came completely off. I trashed the seal and i just used a ton of silicone and no problem with the housing. i decided to go with my idea of multicolor RS helo instead of using the AAC helos.
