Nice job! Makes the car look much cleaner.Ford should have done this at the factory, it makes the car look more finished.

there is a molded channel in the headlight bucket that the lens snaps down into. i bought a large tube of black rtv silicone from NAPA, its a large tube you use in a calking gun, i used about half of that running a bead all around that channel to fill it up then snap the lens back on. you dont see any of the edge of the headlight after its reinstalled in the car so dont worry about the extra silicone squeazing out. you can submerse it in water after it cures to check for leaks. any you may find can be sealed from the edge. its a mod that requires a lot of patience but i think its worth it.
