Default Help with moisture please

I just bought some Black Halo headlights and the first day of rain came and I saw moisture in the high beam area on both driver and Pass side. I clicked on the High beams for a bit and I guess the heat was able to clear it out.
Is there anything that I can do to prevent moisture from getting it there? If the answer is RTV silicone,... where or what part do I use it on? Is it where the back housing and the front clear plastic lense cover meet? or is it where the bulbs actually go into the back?


Thanks all,
Shawn

Run a bead of silicone around the entire lens where it mates with the headlight body. A lot of aftermarket lights are not sealed properly and allow moisture to get in.

Check to see if there are vents too like of the original lights have. That way any moisture that would get in can get out. They should have little "L" shaped tubes turned down so no water can get in but it can escape. If not there isin't much you can do as the housings are too fragile to drill most of the time.
