Now onto resealing. Take some 100% pure black silicone (I used ace hardware brand - $6 per tube). You will set the reflector into the face glass and run a bead of silicone around it to keep it in place.

Or if your an OEM only type of guy

Nissan sells it Part# B655389915

This is the OEM headlight sealant used across the industry.
Was from OLT's thread on how to clear headlights/projector refinishing.

Check out the stickies next time, theres a thread with a ton of DIY info!
