    when you guys use sealant to put these things back together do you heat them up again to try to get as much of the old stuff out or do you just put the new stuff over the old and put them back together that way?

    I leave the stock stuff in there. Just push them back in the channel as much as you can when it is warm after you pulled it apart. Then, use the new. You want to stretch it and put it in the channel all the way around it.

    The first set of headlights I did with this stuff, I didn't stretch the sealant, so the headlight could not close all the way.

    ok, was just commenting on the color, they look very yellowish, like a 3000k fog light or something.
