3. I use Butyl on the headlights that I personally service here, however I (and most, I think) do recommend silicon-based sealant (much stronger). Later can also be removed but require considerable heat and lot more wrist-energy :/
Hey Nine, yes, extracting of the halogen. Definitely required far more material than I thought but WORTH EVERY HID GLOW. I was thinking of using maybe aluminum tape on the inside. I thought about using the Butyl and aluminum foil on the back side to seal up as well.
I think I will go with the Butyl as well.
Last question. What do you use after the headlight is out of the oven to hold headlight tight so it seals?
