Clearing headlights today

Ive read all the diy's. But they differ in one step. Should I use the stock glue, that is already there, to reseal the lights or should I clean out the stock glue and replace with silicone to reseal?

DONOT USE SILICONE !!! GOTO HONDA AND GET THE GOODS FROM THE PARTS DEPT.
SILICONE ATTRACTS MOISTURE!!! NEVER!!! SILICONE !!! UNLESS YOU WANT FOGGY HEADLAMPS!!! SILICONE IS NEVER USED ON CARS!!! ONLY URATHANE BASED PRODUCTS , OR SPECIAL GLUE COMPONDS ARE USED WITH MOTOR VIEHICALS.
GOOD LUCK (20 YEAR BODYMAN) TOLD YOU SO!

Tl_fo_life Read As You Must, Take All Advice For What It Is Worth And Do What You Must, Some Use Silcone, And The Smart Don't , No Offence Guys , But Silcone Is Water Proof , But It Attracts Moisture ! Kind Of Like Wax Is Water Proof But Your Car Gets Wet !!! Put A Drop Of Oil And Water Together And Try To Seperate The Two , You Can't! Oil Is Silicone !!! Get Water In Your Oil And You Have A Problem, Junk Engine!!! Silcone And Oil One Of The Same. It Attracts Water! Ask Any Glass Shop What The Deal Is With Silicone And Why They Donot Use Silicone On Their Windshields, I'm Sure They Will Say The Same, Or You Don't Want Yuor Windshield To Rust Out Of Your Car Do Ya . Anyways Good Luck !!!
