bro you can just pop them in the oven at 200 degrees for about 10 minutes, the glue will warm right up. after that pull the lens apart from the housing (NB it'll be really messy) when you have the headlights separated you can use a hairdryer on high to remove the excess glue from the creases and also this will help clean any glue that got on the lens itself (oh and make sure inside is completely dry) with that completed its just a matter of filling the creases on the housing where the lense snap into with silicone (i used grey) and press and snap the lens into place. spread a thin layer of the silicone around the entire headlight right where the lens and housing meet connect.
after that you should have no more problems with condensation

some guys use ribbon seal,but the silicone will work,the mega grey is heat resistant,and the finish is neat if you be careful and i dont live close to mayaro,just take your time and you will get through,,,,,or go by a straightner for advise.
