Questions:
Where did you put those silica packs inside the headlight? o_0
Is it required to clamp your headlights and leave them overnight?
Apparently, after my second attempt to reseal my headlights, there are still condensation when I took it to the carwash :/

I don't think you have to clamp them for overnight. Shtewps and I did his headlights and left them clamped for like 20 minutes and put them back on his car lol
No condensation for him either.
Are you using butyl?

^^^true...actually, messing with the inside lens might be a bad idea.
I actually had some paint vapor or something that left a film I needed to wipe down on the inside of mine once...but the sun/uv damage you see...can't be on the inside. Now if you've had condensation for a long time, you COULD have mold/mildew, but you can also wipe that off.

I loved the stock lights on the TL too, and when I told people I will be opening them up and messing with them everyone told me I was crazy. Then blacking out, switchbacks, no more orange, ZKW-r, switchbacks, and the whole front end changed. Damn I miss my 3G. Now I help local guys out do it on their 3G just so I can stay close to it hahaha

It makes a HUGE difference.
So blacking them out was a MUST.
The stock lights with my unmodded front with just the A-Spec lip looked "clean" though.

When i did mine, i got the sealant from advance. Came in a can with a applicator tip on it. I found that it wourked very well especially if you removed all the old stuff beforehand.
