I think it may have been OK in summer with a higher start temperature, the hair dryer cut out before it melted the sealant. I decided on the other method of placing the headlamps in the oven at 125 deg C for 5 minutes. This worked a treat! You do have to watch it and don't allow the temperature to go too high!
Just glad I could help, the headlights have been sat in my shed for a while. Better they help somebody out than collect dust.
