yeah they are easy enough to remove from the car but, iam not a gambling man and havent got a spare £1000+ knocking about to replace the headlights if it goes wrong when heating them up to separate them.

the original sealant/ glue already on the headlights will do the job once heated back up

Agreed, but to be on the safe side, I'd apply a little non-setting mastic around the join.......just so you don't have to do it all again to get moisture out
