Lightbulb Headlight condinsation

I've already re silicon sealed my front head lights so I know its not getting liquid in from there. I think its coming in from my turn signal light. It's that little light on the corner that doesnt really seal and hold real well. So I was wondering if there's anything any1 has done to prevent water from getting into the headlight???

The stock headlight assemblies are 6 different pieces. The headlight assy would not get moisture in it through the turn signal sections.

I would just buy a new 6pc set.. You can get them fairly cheap and they'll give your front end a fresh new look.

drill a 1/8 hole in the top corner ish and bottom of the light.

moisture is caused by atmospheric pressure changes. if you have free flowing air you cant build up moisture in a confined space. this should solve you problem. aftermarket lights come with vents already on them, that why they dont condensate.

its aftermarket. It's that one piece design that everyone seems to hate. I love em other than they leak every now and again. I'll try that hole drilling. Thanks

if you drill that hole and you live down a dirt road (or go down a dirt road often) you will regret it cuz it will collect dust and sand in it i did it to my tail lights and i regret it but if you dont then it will deff help
