Ok, i've got my headlights pulled apart and cleaned them so they don't have that ugly yellow tint. My question now is, does anyone know of a good way to get the majority of the old silicone off of them so the new stuff can make a good seal?

You should have just left them intact and wetsanded, then plastic polished the outside. Way less work, looks great.
