Clearing Headlights

Clearing Headlights
Hey guys, I was looking to clear out my headlights, but have no experience with doing something like that. I hear its pretty easy if you follow the DIY, but I was wondering if anybody near Irvine or La Crescenta had done this and would want to give me a hand? Also looking to throw in some switchbacks and painting my grill, but those look a lot easier to do.

Yes. For clearing headlights, the silicon needs to be melted and just pried apart. Same for any other car out there.
This should help:

Btw, these guys have many great tutorials.

ive baked headlights. you really need patience. especially waiting every 8-10 minutes to resoften the OEM glue. its always better to have a 2nd hand to cut the glue while they other one is prying

I failed the patience test...now my headlights got water in them and the headlights dont sit flush with the body. I am looking to do this again but I can't figure out how to do this without a spare set of lights to keep in the car while I bake and wait for the sealant to silicone to set. Otherwise I would love to get some help but I am all the way in Imperial County. Don't forget to test the seal in a steamy bathroom.

So I pop these in the oven and set at 250 for 15 minutes. Once I get them open, do my business and then put back in oven at 250 for 5 minutes and press as hard as I can to get a flush headlight like stock. After all of that is done, what would I do for sealant? Any recommendations on that?
