Since I'm a bit of a cheap bastard, anyone have any idea what to use to plug a couple of rock chips in my headlight lens. (I have a '96 4Runner.) The holes are about the same diameter as the tip of a pencil (small). I just want to keep moisture out until I get around to buying some new lenses, but it may be a while before I do it, and I want something that will stand up to a pressure washer. Any ideas? What is the difference between the 96-98 lenses, compared to the 99+ 3rd gen? I know the grill is different, but how different are the headlights?

 

iirc i want to say the headlights are different in 99+ but i may be WAY wrong.

 

99+ on the bottom

 

to fix it just use some duck tape

 

I'm selling headlights off of my '98 4Runner if you're interested...

 

clear packing tape would probably work.

 

maybe windshield repair kit?

 

Silicone caulk may work if it's a really small hole.

 

ive seen this stuff work well on BB holes in other glass

 

I used clear silicone on a small rock chip hole on my old Hellas. It lasted until I got rid of the car. The glass repair kits will work OK for chips and cracks, but probably will not fill a hole.

 

Look into the expel clear covers.

That's the sort of idea I was looking for. I think I'll give it a try. So, After staring at the pictures of the two different lights, I still can't tell the difference other than the lense having fewer focusing sections to it (at least I think that's what they are.) Are there any other differences dimensionally? If there are it just doesn't show well in the photos. Thanks.
