I need to do this to mine, too... Pull out the housing, then use some clear silicone to reseal the lens. Also, run a very thin layer around where you put the bulb in. That should do the trick... at least from what I've been told... lol

I drill a few tiny holes on the bottom of the housing to let water drain out.

i took out the socket and changed the bulb and got the water out, and i noticed that the socket was loose . i checked the passenger 1 and it was nice and tight. but the drivers side socket was loose. how can i fix that? i mean the looseness of it would explain y the water is getting in.
