Can you put the whole HID assembly in the oven too? I took out the bulbs and the back piece but i cant get the big square ballast off cause the wire goes through the headlight.

no, take out the ballast and the bulbs, I also took out the rubber seal on the back, but anything else can go in. FYI, Oven will help better with leaks then heatgun, heatgun is not as effective imo, I've tried both many many times and anytime it leaked, it was from a heatgun

I had condensation the first time I washed my car, after a day in the sun it all when away but I wanna re seal em. I wonder if I should just take all of the old sealant off and use new stuff or just add more sealant to prevent any air space. What do you guys think?

you gotta do is take the headlight out and use a blowdryer to get all the water out. Sometimes your seal is perfet but you sealed water in the headlight so it evaporates and condenses over and over again.
I took mine off and used a blowdyer and let them sit for a good bit indoors. Haven't had a problem since
