So, they can be removed by grinding off the pins? How much room is behind them?I seem to remember them being plasti welded by alignment pins.

I just did mine and I tried to remove all the butyl I could. I then resealed with clear silicone but my headlight still keeps fogging up and it's happening to both of them. Is anyone else having this issue?
Did you ever fix it?Just my passenger side
The lights only fog up with direct water contact when washing car.Did you ever fix it?
Nathan do you think I should try a different silicone or try butyl because I put a ton of silicone in to the point when I pushed the light back together it all overflowed and I had to wipe it away.No fog here. Still holding strong.
So is butyl what the headlight manufacturer used originally?I used butyl on mine about a year ago and have not had any moisture issues yet.

I decided to try something different and drilled a small hole on the outside underside of the headlight. It has helped a lot. Im thinking they might need more ventilation as the inside of the lights were still no equalizing to the outside pressure. Im starting to think that the only reason to have a good seal around the lens itself is to keep dirt and water from messing up the electronics. The holes I added are not going to allow dirt in and are in a place where they wont be effected by engine heat. Hopefully this works long term better, I read pages and pages on different forums about how important good ventilation actually is.The headlights are not sealed from the factory. Regardless of the sealant you use, they can and will get moisture inside of them.
It's mentioned in the owners manual. Both of my headlights got condensation inside of them often when stock.
