[richarda]

my new rear lights arrived today but before i remove my old ones what would i need to re seal the lights back in? never taken them out before so i dunno what i would need to make it water proof again

When Ems had her clear lights fitted, there was more than enough sealant still stuck to the car. We just reused what was left and everythings fine so far!

I did the same when fitting my rear LED lights and there was plenty, although I did take some from the old lights and reapply it

no you didn't, for one, i fitted em and i used propper nissan sealer that i had "aquired" from when i worked at nissan, it comes on a roll and you get one roll with each genuine nissan tail light, not sure if it's available seperately though.

to get the old ones off, just prise it off carefully with a big flat blade screw driver.
