Default Re-seal headlight?

wondering what some of you guys use to re-seal a headlight? I'm swapping headlights with AP2's this weekend and they have moisture in them. Might as well re-seal when they're off the car. thanks.

Reheat the left over glue in the grooves, and use black silicone

3M window weld is the best stuff ive seen. I use it for HID retrofits pretty regularly and never seen any issues. It comes in a long roll at pepboys and such. its like $12-15. put it in the groove and press the lense on as tight as you can (clamps, tape, etc) and pop it in a pre-warmed oven (with the oven now off) at 250 for 4-5 minutes. holds like a champ
