There's about 989,875,987,655 threads talking about using Butyl Rubber sealant on the hedlights. People on this site seem to prefer the Nissan stuff.https://acurazine.com/forums/car-parts-sale-361/nissan-rubber-butyl-sealant-your-headlight-tail-light-applications-763354/

Also, you'll need to replace the desiccant pouch inside your headlight. Your original one probably got saturated when you opened the light, so it no longer absorbs moisture. Without a functioning desicant, your headlight will probably keep fogging up, no matter how well you seal it.

Considering the OP mostly spams this site with threads asking questions that could have been answered with a simple Google search (because they have already been covered in great depth on this site and others), I'm not surprised. His thread history: https://acurazine.com/forums/search....13399011&pp=40.

Isn't there a rule on this site asking you to search before starting a thread?
