okay i attempted the same things only thing is that how do u seal it back to look mint? no matter how nice i try to seal it if u look closely it still looks like the lights been tampered with if u can give me advice on how u cleaned up and resealed the lense to housng that would be great~! and ohh yea that looks pretty dope why didnt u remove the yellow lense since ur inside?

Okay this is going to sound crazy, I didn't bake the lights to take them apart. I just drilled holes in the back of the light big enough for the LEDs to be inserted, and then sealed up any remaining gaps on the back with black high temp silicone. Nobody really sees the back side of the lights after you put them back on so it looks stock on the outside. I am sure there is a number of ways to do this, I did it the easy way to hold me over until I get the Wise lights.
If you are having trouble getting the seal back to normal, put them back in the oven, and smooth out the edges when the glue is still warm. If not you could just scrape out all the glue and use silicone around the seam, it works great and you have time to smooth it out and make it look good before it dries. I use RTV High temp silicone from Autozone, I think it comes in clear and black. Hope this helps
