Default Headlights

I installed my smoked clear corner headlights from American Muscle a little over a month ago. No problems until today. Before I installed them I sealed them with some silicone around the cracks to prevent moisture. But today it kind of rained a bit outside (first time in a while), and my passenger light was fogged up when I left work for lunch (it had been sitting out in on and off rain for 4 hours). I drove home, and it wasn't as foggy, but there was still a bit there.

Anyone have any suggestions on what to do? Should I just let it dry out and re-seal it, incase I missed any spots?

americanmuscle has a guide right on its website i've done it and they still fog up but they go away with the heat of the bulb, its really not a big deal if it goes away but try the websites solutions it helps alot with the condensation I also bought mine on ebay for 70.00 same tpe of headlights IMO

well moisture isnt good for the bulb and living in the desert, i rarely drive my car in the rain (rains so rarely all the oil comes to the surface when it does = alot of idiot drivers slamming into things so this has never happened to my lights). fact is if the headlight is fogging up moisture is getting in there somehow and it shouldnt be. but if you sealed it with silicone and it fogs up, maybe where the bulb latches into the lens isnt sealed right. id start there. this is a common problem, and honestly im starting to think its unavoidable.
