Does anyone know what the sealer is that is used ? as will run a bead around both when I refit them just to be sure of a decent seal again.

Don't know the sealer, but mine sealed up Ok re-using what was left on each edge ....... so far!  :y  :y

I have pulled most of the glue off the lenses that I removed, as I won,t be refitting them onto my existing headlights for a week or so as no free days for a while now.
One of them I bought was a OEM and had metal sprung clips aswell as glue...the original GM ones have a moulding wedge on the lense so expect some glue or similar would be wise.
Looks like Sikaflex 251 boat sealer is the answer.

windscreen sealant would also be good, flexible and waterproof!

...and what painting method would be best? Plastic primer then satin black spray. Do you rough up the reflector first with some fine wet and dry? Are there any bits not to spray?
