Default Headlight Seal

Does anyone have instructions on how to take apart a headlight unit to reseal it? I’ve heard of the oven method but I cant find a video anywhere on the internet. I don’t want to experiment and use my “best judgment”. I need step by step instructions. Help?

It's been done a few times by members , make sure you bake and low temp continuous checking the rubber components (being low heat you should be fine ) there also is a hidden torq screw make sure that is removed.
In terms of resealing simply do the reverse in order to heat up the glue/sealer then reseal the lenses .
Ive never had a problem using this method although I did run into issues the first time when I didn't reheat the sealer and used an off the shelf product
