Sear

or re-seal, after you take the lens off what do you use to reseal the lens back onto the headlight assembly?

Pd, anything sticky really. Autostore's RTV, liquid silicon. Cheap TAR could also work but messy dunno. The headlight housing has this nice 10mm deep groove where you can pour the stuff in. You just fill up at 50%, the lip of the lens accounts for the other 50%, when pressed together it all becomes a nicely flush seal.

You can't screw up and even if you'd try you'd fail
