21. Once the two sides are aligned, push them together as hard as you can:

22. Use as much force as you can to push the two sides together, and get the gaps as small as possible:

23. Place the headlight back in the oven, make sure that the cardboard is WET! and heat at 200F for 4 minutes:

24. Remove the headlight from the oven, and WHILE IT IS STILL HOT, push it together AS HARD AS YOU CAN (without breaking anything). Try to get the gaps as little as possible (compare it to the stock headlight that you haven't cleared, the gaps should be as small, or almost as small as the gaps on the stock headlight). Make sure that all the tabs are secured too:

25. Hold the headlight in place until the sealant cools off and hardens in place (you can use a clamp if you have one):

26. Once you are happy with the seal of the headlight, put all the clips, bulbs, and ballasts back on (put the clip back on in the direction shown in the picture below). Let any condensation in the headlight air out, and then put the headlights back on the car:
