Have you ever attempted this? I ask this as it is not for the faint. You will need window tools, such as nylon sticks, and cleaners to help remove the old sealant. Then you need the proper new sealant. It can all be done, but our headlight is a large unit, and not one to be experimenting on. If you have a high mechanical aptitude, then you can achieve just about all these mods, but I dissuade the first-timers, and those who aren't mechanically oriented.

I've done about a dozen headlights, all RSX's. Zero moisture in all of them.

Did it for extra cash during my college days

I know how, I just want confimred temps and times in order to do mine when I get my 370.

thanks.
