In this video I'm showing how to take apart GMC Sierra headlights that are sealed with permaseal. Once opened, I swapped the xenon internals for a damaged set of headlights into good halogen headlights. Also, installed clear corner makers for the turn signal from klearz.com.

You are a life saver! I have been looking for a video like this to remove my headlights. I was confused as to how to reseal but you explained it very well and showed it takes patience to pry the headlight. Thank You!

Sweet sweet video my man. My least favorite part about the stock headlights (apart from the bad light output) is those two chrome strips. They missed a good opportunity to make those something nice and useful like the day time running lights. Thank you.

Yeah these ones are super tough same as the Silverado. Almost not worth the work or risk!! “Almost” but the end result is awesome. Good job on the step by step.

Do you think I could use this technique on replacing just the lens on a 16 Sierra headlight? This is the only video I can find semi close to what I want done... but it looks as though the whole assembly is attached to the lens. I just want to switch lens’ if you know what I mean.

LED daytime running lights were taken off OEM Sierra headlights. The truck originally came with xenon headlight with DRL, but they were damaged beyond use (truck was in an accident).

How did you paint the chrome? Did you sand the surface of it prior painting? Did you use a special paint that could withstand high heat?

@GRCLights 5 жыл бұрын

The paint was done by the paint shop. They used regular car paint.

@busared06 4 жыл бұрын

You can strip the chrome with oven cleaner, or that purple cleaner/degreaser. For the degreaser method, most get a tub and let the chrome plastic sit in it awhile

@bailenforcementagent6597 3 жыл бұрын

I use moderate sanding (220G), “acid etch primer”, regular auto grade primer after the acid etch has flashed or dried, then base coat and finally clear coat! Keeps em’ shiny!

A roll of butyl sealant, both from Morimoto and Diode Dynamic is more than enough to do a set of 2018 Silverado headlights.

man its crazy i did it for the first time and messed up because i lacked knowledge. My biggest issue was sealing the headlight back together. I did remove the old glue and messed up. i learned you MUST REMOVE your old glue and apply your new one

What’s the benefits of a heat gun vs oven?

@GRCLights 4 жыл бұрын

They are both the same. Oven is easier if you are new to this, but you can mess up with both methods. If you use oven, make sure you put the headlight on blocks of wood at bake 230 degrees Fahrenheit. Use electric oven only.

Why not use a oven?

@matthead382 4 жыл бұрын

Would heating the headlight assembly in an oven make it any easier to remove the lens?

@GRCLights 4 жыл бұрын

Make it easier, no. The oven heats up the whole headlight, where as the heat gun only heats the area that needs prying. Once in a while I use an oven, just some headlights cover lens don't like heat especially Ford and BMW. If you do use an oven, use an electric oven at 200F degree for 10 minutes. Also, pre-heat the oven before use.
