Sealed beam conversion kit.

Has anybody that has a sealed beam xenon conversion kit had problems with the lights filling with water while the headlights are down and it rains or you wash the car? I have tried everything that I can think of. My kits are the Lite Glow kits and I have had to fill all of the holes in the back if the kit where the bulb goes and they still leak. I just put this sticky tar like stuff on them to see if I can seal them. It is called Vapor Wrap. It looks like the sealant that is on my T-tops. I was just wondering what anyone else has used. Thanks!

Actually a pretty common problem with those types of conversions. They are supposed to come with a rubber boot for the back part with holes for the wires. Use the boot and mounds of electrical tape. I know it looks ugly but it works ...

I must not have gotten the boots for them. I am gonna see if the Vapor Wrap stuff that I have on it works. If that does and no one has any better suggestions maybe I will see if I can find some. Thanks CrazyHawaiian!
