Best way to seal broken headlight?
I noticed the other day after spraying off my car that one of the headlights was fogged up with condensation. After looking closer at the headlight, it has a small hole in it. One of the small nubs (things that stick out from the front of the headlight) was broken off.
How can I repair this to make it waterproof? Some clear epoxy over the hole? I'd rather not buy a new headlight.

take it off
put it in oven heated to 200 F
wearing heat resistant gloves, pull it apart and clean off the silicone sealant
using clear epoxy put some on the INSIDE of the headlight and some on the outside and smooth it out. when it dries polish it.
reseal with new silicone and press back together and trim of excess when it hardens
