Great stuff in this thread.
I have a question about what to do if I have seen moisture in one of my headlights. I didnt seal up my drivers side headlight completely and have noticed moisture in side at times of heavy rain, not much but a little condensation. Could i try to heat up the headlight and press it back together and see if that does the trick?

I would warm the light up, crack the seal and pull it apart. Order some of this:OCI Butyl Rubber Glue - Accessories from The Retrofit Source Inc
You really don't need much but stretch it out and stuff a string of it in the groves. Then warm back up and re-seal. Only way to make sure the seal is good and it doesn't happen again.

Easy way, crack the seal, run blow dryer in the light and close it up. Temp fix doesn't address the seal issue. Unless you sealed it with moisture inside already some how. Hope it helps.

Awesome, always looking for new pics, ideas and methods. This thread is only as good as we make it. Those XBs are nice, I'm planning on redoing mine with them. Can't wait to see your build..
