I've done this before but not to E60 headlights, I guess it could be done, I like how clean it comes off.

Yes, I was applying heat and then very hard pry polycarbonate part out (i needed to use much force to open it). After opening, the flange on black plastic could be damaged so I repaired it and cleaned the flange from old sealant (it was hard work to remove the sealant).

Everything is sealed properly, I tested it with air pressure with blocked breather elbows.

I just simply filled groove around housing (whole old sealant removed) with silicone to about 2/3 of height, pushed transparent plastic part into the groove and wiped out silicone from outer side with wet finger.
