Rep Power: 0 hears a trick, take it out and try to get all the mositure out and go aournd the edges where you sealed it up and just blow on it with hot breath and when you get condinsation inside the headlight you will know where it is not sealed.

this is kinda a bit OT...but since you took them apart after sealing them w/ sillicone...how the HELL did you take them apart the second time? will the oven trick still work with sillicone? cause its not really the same type of sealant as the factory goo...like it doesnt seem like it will soften when heated. so i dont know.
i need help!!!!! can anyone help me w/ this?
