    Great write up and very easy to follow. Thank you Viet.

    Only thing that I would say or my advice is that instead of trying to fight the OE sealant and removing it, that stuff is honestly your best friend. It's gives you the best chance for a tight reseal.

    I agree. When I did mine (both times), I pushed the OEM sealant back into the grooves while it was still warm. Two sets done with multiple years of use and no problems so far.

    So I did the BHLM in January. Had no problems till I noticed on Friday that the top corners had a sort of haze on the inside lenses, thought nothing of it and then the following day it got worse. I'm guessing its from the heat since it was parked directly in the sun light and the temp reached 80ish degrees...

    Could anyone tell me why this is possibly happening?

    My only though was that I didn't let the bezel cure enough before I put it back in the light and sealed it up. So Saturday I took the light apart pre-burned the bezel again and let it sit over night, and then washed the lenses with soap and water and also let them sit over night and put everything back together.

    Any help would be appreciated.. if the problem continues I will take pictures next time.
