Default cleared my stock headlights

I put them in the oven ,but they used something like grey silicon and it was a pita to get the lense off.It helped a little on the plastic piece before it cracks when you start pulling and bending it.









took me 2 1/2 hours with all the cleaning and putting it back together.

If you use some good silicone ,clean it pretty good then you dont have to be afraid.There were also some areas were that factory stuff was a little less.
So actually i'm happy that i resealed them.
Sometimes that little o-ring on the socket get's porous and you get condensation from that .
