I was washing my car and saw some condensation in my BRAND new lights. But luckily it was only one of the corners. I pulled it off and got it out with a shop cloth and I was going to silicone them but I noticed that there is actually a "drain hole" on the bottom of it. Should I just leave it alone?

I ran a silicone bead around my smoked cobras the second I got them out of the box. Even if they didn't look like they need it. Haven't had any problems yet.

did you guys seal off the drain holes too?

Cause I already did. I made sure there was no water in them and completely sealed them off.

Mine didn't have hole.... and yeah I would have sealed them. As long as the seal at the bulb is good, you shouldn't need drain holes.

i agree with everyone else...silicone them. My one headlight is also getting condensation so when I put my new bumper in i'm going to silcone both of them so I don't have to worry about anything.
