Default de tango

got my bulbs today im all ready to de tango this saturday the only thing im worried about is how to reseal them,, ive read that you can just warm them up again and the original mastic will seal again??
or use fresh mastic to hold them back together, if anyone has done the later option which mastic should i buy

never mind mate, good luck, also if you have the orange reflectors on the wing, you can make these look awesome for free... wait for it this does look awesome,
get a pair of your wifes lycra pants boxers or dark tights and stretch these over the reflectors (first take them of the car ofcourse) and tie them and replace thesse, honest these look awesome and save you £30, off to work now but will post pics, iam thinking of doing this to my rear lights...

Only thing I would say about smashing is be careful not to damage and scratch the reflector, other than that good plan.
