yeah, I just researched this, many people like it. My main concern is ... how would you apply Nissan-Butyl-Sealant to your headlights ? .. I believe it comes as a rubber material .. anyone know ?

Did I ask how it came in ?? .. I know it comes in a roll. My question is how do I apply it, it doesn't come in a tube, so the actual application process is what I need to know.

you unroll it and place it in between both halves where the old one was. You place it in the oven for 8 mins and then let it cure for an hour.
You've asked this on hidplanet and there are plenty of pictures there.
