What Type of Sealent To Use for Headlights? (specific Brand?)
I was having some condensation issues with my recently cleared headlights. Originally i didn't use any additional sealent when I resealed the headlights, other than the stuff that was already there, but now it needs more. Im not sure what brand or type is the best to go with. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Eurethane (black) adhesive is what is originally in there and is what is used to install windshields. This is recommended if you want a good seal.

i used a tube of some white silicon adhesive i found at the hardware store. I very lightly applied it over the remaining OEM black sealent and that was at least three years ago now maybe more! no water in my lights

Thanks guys for your help, i've heard good stuff about the permatex i think i'll go with that. But do you any of you know if you can easily re-heat to 220 degrees and break the permatex seal to get back into the inside of the headlights, just like the stock sealent?
