Clear is ok at the end (as a seal over a seal), but using it to seal up the light isn't a good idea. I wish I learned this earlier than my first couple months of doing lights. Clear silicone gases like a mofo.

Butyl rubber (windshield weld, etc)

Contact Jeremy and see what his TYC price is for some new 2nd gen headlights, he's now a dealer and gets special pricing.
2nd gen lights are F'N $$. TYC sells the sport ones, 120 a pop.

My advice? Don't open them. Thats not going to get you anywhere. You'll probably try to wipe the inside lens clean, which WILL scratch the f out of the lens. Leave it sealed, put silicone around the bulbs. Dunk it in a water tank and check for bubbles.
