that black silicone will turn either grey or brown (depending on manufacturer) in a very short time.
Ive done the lower gap on all my vehicles for the past several years. although I did leave the upper gap for ventilation, as mentioned before, the headlamps can get pretty darn hot and I didnt want to tempt fate
I tried sealing my headlamps on my old ranger but nothing lasted very long, so I ended up just buying some covers. they did a pretty good job of covering the gaps around most edges, but also covered that gap between the headlamp and turn signal.
the stock image shows how much gap there is around the entire thing, but there is a significant gap also between the components that make up the HL assembly. which you can see a little better in the pic of the covers installed.
not sure how much of an aero effect it had, but Im thinking it had to have some.
