if you baked em twice (and messed em up twice, cause I saw them lol) you likely messed up the original glue.
In which case silicone is your friend. Black strong silicone if you want it to look clean. Holla at me with additional questions.
Or PM jarek, he's good at that stuff

I could always steal the girlfriends car. I used the black silicone, a ton of it too, at least i thought so. Those touch less car washes with the high pressure washers, own the crap out of the headlights.

There filling up with condensation, but 1 could defiantly use a restore, since the other one is brand new and looks great. looks funky with one good headlight and one crap faded, yellow, one.

You didn't completely seal it off.
I would not use silicone in the headlights to make the seal. It hardens and solidifies over time and you will not be able to break the assembly apart if you happen to find yet another leak and would like to redo.
I have never had a condensation issue for the many many headlights I have worked on and serviced (or at least none has been reported yet). I don't use silicone, I use the industrial pro materials.
Too bad you're in sac.
