hello, i have some halo projector lights in the car. when it rains or it gets washed, there is moisture inside the lense. it will dissipate if i drive a while with lights on. i don't want the moisture to stay in there and discolor the lenses. i doubt there is a way but i should ask anyway.

i know with regular lights all you have to do is drill a hole in the bottom, as soon as the sun hits it, or you turn the lights on it will dry out.

Basically once you get them from the oven which basically just gets rid of the water inside apply the silicone while they are still warm and snap them back together. Once you do that clean the excess silicone from them and check for any spots that did not seal during that process. Fairly easy to do and a quick fix. Try to use the blue rtv, it usually works the best since it is made for making gaskets anyways. Good luck.
