With 02-05 getting them to reseal with the OEM sealant is easy. On 06-08 they are more aggravating because the sealant is so hard.

I am tackling this feat tomorrow night with my headlights, and repainting my eye lidz because the clear spider webbed after it snowed on my truck this winter.. I thought that was weird but gives me a reason to put a fresh coat of paint on them. Wish me luck and I will post pictures saturday of my progress.

You can also get paint from the dealer in a spray can that is matched to your VIN

I have the matched paint in a spray can, but I am actually painting the headlights black to match the grill and ram head on the grill. I think it will look better black since I already have the PTM eyelidz. What do you think? There is a member on here with a red truck with black headlights/grill and red eyelidz and it looks amazing. That's the look I am going for. I believe it is a regular cab with a SRT spoiler on it.

Well here is a picture of the grill and ram head on the truck with the chrome headlights (stock). Do you still think it would look better color matched? I liked the blue truck color matched, but don't like the look of the red truck color matched. Just my personal preference I guess.
