How to remove Headlights

I have an Acura Tl Type S. My driver side headlight just starting to fog up the other day and I was trying to find a post of how to remove the headlights so I can replace the gasket (not sure if there really is a gasket to replace but I want to at least see what I need to do). Ive been reading on peoples post that they can reseal the headlights? What does that mean? I used to have an integra back in the day and had this problem with my taillights and what I did was change the that rubber type gasket to stop the condensation in the headlights. Does anyone have nay link on how to remove the headlights and also explain to me what they mean by resealing? Also does anyone have any idea how much a new gasket will cost or will it be cheaper to reseal it? Thank you.

there are many links on headlight removal- disassembly and replacement of seal

It requires heating the headlight assembly in the oven- removing old sealant and install new. Some use the dealer seal and some extra sealant- others just shoot new sealant material- color optional

Caution- possible to melt the mounting tabs in the oven!!!

Also must remove bumper and buy special TORX tool to remove headlights from car body
