some headlights are more of a pain than others, I'm working on doing my 3rd set and this set is a PITA!! Ford used more glue or sealant (what ever you want to call it) i must say its worth it!!!

I am having a hell of a time with mine right now. I'm trying to open and paint my old factory headlights to practice before doing it on our 08 Subaru Legacy GT.
There is a freaking ton of sealant and I have reheated it 2 times so far. Bah

I just purchased hella black outs online so I will be doing this mod with my stock headlights. I am going to silicone the Hellas as well before installing, just in case. If my stockers turn out perfect I may put them up for sale.....

No, Your leaving the round reflector part original....the big headlight one comes out and you tape off the parking/signal one

Does anyone know if Ford used the same sealant on all years?

Guys are talking about silicone?

Mine are not sealed with silicone. It's more like a plastic glue. You cannot even dent the stuff with your fingernail.

Maybe that's why some guys find it easy, while others are having such a hard time?

I'd like to do this mod, but think this glue will not come free.
