1) These headlights cost a helluva lot more than your average headlight.

2) The sealant sits in a tongue and groove. You can't apply heat to it directly, which is why even heating of the entire assembly is required. If you try to apply heat to the area to soften the sealant, you will also be heating the outer edge of the lens and you will melt it. I've seen it happen multiple times, which is why I warned you against it. If you want to ruin your headlights, go right ahead. However, suggesting that this is a good idea and potentially causing others to ruin their headlights is incredibly irresponsible.

3) I've retrofitted 76 sets of these headlights, so I may have a general idea of what I'm talking about.

4) It's late there and I suggest you get some sleep.
