i cleared my headlights a week ago by myself and since then, theres been nothin but trouble...first the silicone i used sucked so water got into the headlights and both hid bulbs went out.......so the next day i sealed them with automotive silicone after i dried them out...
the drivers side was perfect but the passenger side was still messed up and the high beam bulb went out and the corner went out.......so i was driving with one corner and one highbeam, anyways i sealed them again with about 2 bottles for each headlight and theres a ton of silicone on it but its finally sealed up tight....as for the bulbs , they charge 200+$ at the dealer but a friend at Acura is getting them for me through warrantee..so if youre thinking about clearing your headlights, be prepared to put a ton of silicone on it before it leaks water

 

Sorry to hear about all the troubles you had. I am glad that you could get covered under warranty about your bulbs.
