nope. gotta redo it again. if you put something in there, then its not a complete seal, and then moisture will collect inside. not something desierable.

I concur with Shatten. And if you don't get the seal right you have do the whole thing over again. Unfortunately, this clear headlight thing is a big hassle. No biggie though, if you can do it once, you can do it again!

You might be able to pull the trick that I did when clearing mine. I had some lint from a crappy towel in there after I sealed one of the headlights. I sealed off all but two of the holes in the back of the headlight assembly then put my vacuum hose close to one of the open holes and vacuumed some of the stuff out. I wasn't able to get it all out though - it's still in there. However, it's not causing any damage as far as I can tell.

I think we understand the fact that you're not a fan of cleared headlights. I've seen a couple posts on this. I think a lot of people on this board like them though. Feel free to keep your feelings to yourself and answer the question in the post if you have anything useful to say about it. ok then...bye bye now

Try blowing air about 100 psi instead of a vacuum. It is the way we used to clean the machines at work, now we have to use vacuums and they don't work too well. Not sure if it would work though.
