Please explain more about what you are doing.
It looks about the same as before . . .

Oh, you removed the yellow side marker within the headlamp.

Took the headlights out. Baked them on a towel in a cooking sheet at 275 for 10 minutes. I then opened then up removed the amber lens and then resealed them. I originally was going to paint the corner piece but it looked like crap.

I've got an extra set, but never did bake them. Mainly, I can't decide what color and how to paint them.
I've gone between silver (body color), black, red, or a combo of 2 or three of them.

i really liked how the housing is screwed on and the inner housing as well. Makes it so everything will line up and seal right. A lot better than my older silverado housing.

Black waterproof silicone. In the channel of the lens then I put a bead all the way around the outside edge.
