I've had my clears for over 4 years and have not lost a bulb. I sealed them real well and I don't think I've ever seen any moisture in them.

Make sure you use bulb grease or you'll constantly blow bulbs. I learned that the hard way.

Mine would do the same thing. I had to drill a moisture hole in order for it to stop. Real easy to do, and worked great.

I had the same problem, used bulb grease and ran a nice silicone bead around them and drilled small holes at the bottom. Problem solved!
