I have opened my lights 4 times. Not by choice. I had an LED go bad and then the paint started to bubble, things like that.

I just remove all the wiring and bake at 240 for 15 minutes. Once the lenses at apart and the sealant is still warm I make sure that I push as much of it as possible back into the channel.

No condensation or leaks yet.

The oven is the best option.

That's exactly how you do it push the sealant into the channel and when you heat up the housing to install the cover push it back hard so as to not strip the little screws on the light.FWIW

nice thread!


more info on the paint you DIYers have used and what paint has bubbled in the past...will also help out others

The paint bubbling was my fault. I tried to paint the trim around the projector and turn signal. When it didn't come out right I brought it to a body shop. They had a problem with the paint that I had already put down and it lifted after a short time.
I used the paint that Caravanshaka lists in his DIY.
The explanation that I got was that any paint from a rattle can has a chemical that prevents the paint from drying in the can. Unless you let the paint cure fully before adding the clear it will bubble.
I only painted the passenger side and had left the driver side alone.
The passenger side is the one that I had issues with.

I have never been good at painting. My suggestion is to bring whatever you want painted to a professional before trying it yourself. Unless you are confident in your painting skills.
