How NOT to open up 2017 Ford Focus RS Headlights with Permaseal!
On many permaseal lights, the cleanest, most "professional" way to open them up is to repeatedly heat them in the oven, then pry them open. Later the original sealant is scraped out, and new sealant is added to reseal the lights.
SCREW THAT! With these 2017 Ford Focus RS projector headlights, the ONLY way I'd suggest to open them up, is to cut the lens off! Watch and see why!

Honestly I just got done removing some lenses from my lights that had permaseal in them and it’s a lot easier to use head and pry them open a little bit at a time.
Do you know if a cadillac xts is permaseal or butyl?
Honestly, all Focuses after 2011 are like that. If I had seen the video 3 years ago I would have given you some tips…
Hey Chris I've got a ford mustang 2017 GT do you know if they are permasealed or rubber butyl? Is baking best for these ones?
Broooooooo… I just fucking love this video! Please update this video if you found a more easy wait to work with those type of headlights because damn.. i just did some Cadillac headlights and I swear to god, never again as well lol 😂!! Please reply to this if you see it!
Hi
If I Cut the rear part of the headlight housing can I be able to remove the projector? Or I really need to remove the headlight lens?
Thank you!
How do you get the perma seal out of the channel?
Its possible to make a head light housing?
I did work on my Nissan Sentra 2015 it takes me like an hour to open it I heated for 15 minutes at 290 just be patient, then I put it back on the same ugly rubber and reseal on top of it. It comes up perfect.
I was thinking 🤔 what that hell was this thing this was my first and last time with this stupid rubber glue.,
Thank you for the video I wasn’t along 😂 😂 😂
I've work on the 2014 pre lift headlights from focus… yeah this permaseal fookin sucks. Took me over 8 hours to do both and I barely had time to sleep coz I had to finish them so I can drive to work. After I bought some indonesian aftermarket headlights and those were sealed with the good stuff. Customized those and threw away stock ones that lost their decent looks after all this nightmare.
I now know exactly how to open my lights from hell made by Satan himself. I am eternally grateful
Could you please make a video on how to cut open my 17 focus ST lights, I am trying to do a DIY DRL conversation from the boring white to green LED modules.
I agree with you, trying to unseal that is a no no!
Have you done 2017 Ford Fusion
ouch hah my fiesta st is sad :p but Ill let you know when I open a set up, just got a job so Ill be making an order shortly hah 😛
been doing permaseal focus lights since 2010 they are permaseal all the way back to 2005. I don't really mind it quite often it's less messy and easier to get a clean channel.
Cutting is never an option. I want it to look like I never was in there.
Bro this vid is PERFECT!
