You can use clear silicon adhesive or:

 

had enough time to finish one light today...damm it looks so much cleaner..thanks for the help guys

 

I would use aquarium sealeant around the headlights when you put them back together

 

the clear head lights do look clean, can't wait til i have a day off of work, so i can do mine.

 

lets see some pics

 

I remember when I wanted to do this mod and I saw a thread where you didn't have to go through all the oven heating stuff. After I removed my lights from the vehicle I used a long thin bladed screw driver to very quickly and easily pop that orange reflector into 3 small pieces. The pieces then just fell out of the hole where the bulb attaches. Worked great for me!

 

I think I saw that too, just have yet to do it, I'm not heating and re-sealing anything, I'm far too lazy, I'd rather buy them

 

Shoaf,
Just be careful, when you break the reflectors try not to scratch the silver/grey paint on the interior of the lens.

 

Thanks for the advice, it'll be a while anyway, I'm still in IRAQ with the Marines for another 10 months!
