well, i left the old caulk on there, and then i put everything back together, and heated up the old caulk with a hair dryer, squeezed it together, and then ran silicone all around the outside, just to make sure there were no holes or gaps. Honestly, the hardest part was taking the headlight apart, and the whole process took me roughly 3-4 hours.

one more question did you clear coat them, and also how did you get them apart with the hairdryer also?

take the bulbs out, and put the hair dryer in the headlight hole. Let it sit for like 3-4 minutes and then start pulling apart on one of the corners of the headlight. It will eventually pull apart. I used a screw driver to pry it apart to get it started. But, be careful, the caulk gets really hot. My hands were sore for a couple days. And yes, i did clear coat my headlights. 1 coat is enough.

I used this how-to as a guide

Good luck with it. :
