My main question is what things do you need to open up the headlights assembly and then reseal it so no water and condensation get inside the housing? I've never done a retro or even opened up the housing for that matter. Any help and insight would be appreciated. Thanks guys!!

I opened mine up with a heat gun and screwdrivers and it wasn't the easyest thing to do. I'm going to bake them to put them back together. I'll let you know how it turns out

I used an oven to open my headlights. Around 350 degrees for 8 minutes or so. Screwedrivers will help, but when the housing is hot from being in the oven or under a heat gun, it's really easy to bend and distort the housing. As far as resealing, the process is similar. I took the butyl tape from TRS and lined the housing with it, popped it in the oven to soften the glue, and then pressed them together. C-clamps will also help.
