Hey, I am googling around and most suggest the "legit" way of using butyl sealant, but can a black silicone sealant work as well?

What other options are there to reseal the headlight.

    I don’t know personally but would it be ok to use that heat resistant silicon that is used on engine as gaskets ? Headlights are always exposed to high temperatures and u need a sealant that can resist heat, and I can’t thing better that those gasket silicons 😁😁
