Can I ask what the seal looks like AFTER the lens was installed again? I'd like to compare quality of the reseal from another supplier to what I saw over the weekend on some lights from another reputable vendor from Bavgruppe.

Needless to say, I was taken back at how it looked, so I'm just not sure if it's normal for these mods to create the results I saw, or if it was possibly on the builder and representative of their quality.

FWIW: I do realize opening these headlights is nothing short of a nightmare. My previous experience with opening headlights was on MK3 VWs where 15mins@350 softened the glue enough to just pull the glass lens right off. I understand with the invention of PermaSeal, this task has grown exponentially harder....but I'm still curious to what other builders are putting out for the new seal at the lens-to-housing point.
