Default This sucks

I purchased a replacement euro headlight from a fellow AWer to replace mine that was damaged in the accident. Well I finally got around to attempting to install it today and noticed this:

I never examined the headlight when I received it from the guy a couple of days ago so I never saw it. He told me it was in excellent condition but the headlight looks like its been through hell. I noticed that it has sealant on the bottom that is coming off and then there is the melting damage. I'm pretty pissed!
