rubber gasket around front headlights

[Kenny]

LukeVX,
I ran a while without the gaskets and found that in driving rain, it got a bit wet in and around the battery and filter box. So I think the gaskets do help somewhat in rain.

Good point Kenny. Something I didn't notice when I ran mine w/out gaskets. I'm going to keep that in mind for when I get to the point that I can just garage the VX and save it for my future children. That way I can keep it out of the rain for a while Thanks.

Get a pair of GTS headlight covers for about $50. I've been using them, and here are my findings:

1. They really look good
2. They keep the gaskets in place, no more glueing
3. Because they seal outside of the OEM gaskets they keep the rain and water out better.
4. They provide extra protection from road debris and protect our $300+ lights for only $50.
5. Did I mention they look good, oh yes I did

Note anything other than CLEAR covers may be illegal in some states, but they come in Carbon Fiber, and Smoke(dark gray) colors.

They also have WeatherFlectors for the windows, which mount in the window channels, and seem to solve the window sticking issue, among other benefits such as:

1: They look good

2: Let air in and keep rain out

3: Keeps the interior cool in the summer

4: Provide tint at eye level where it is needed on the side windows

5: Open up the window channels so that the glass slides easier


Two cheap mods that solve two irritating problems AND make the VX look even better IMO.

That exact line on that site is your warning and I ignored it. Landed me an inspection ticket with them on once. Be aware.

Driving with them during the day is no issue. It's when headlights are needed, like rain, fog, and night driving when you can not have them on. This IS a nationwide law for headlight obstruction. Not trying to be a cock-blocker, but you should be aware in case you dont care to pay for an inspection after you get a ticket.

I noticed one day on the way to work that they were coming loose. I cleaned the area and used crazy glue. So far so good.
