    This...but that requires that u bake the lights. Separate lense from housing. Add butyl then close them up, bake again and push it all together.
    For sealing aftermarket lights I recommend using marine RTV. Everywhere where lense meets housing.

    The company I bought the lights from on eBay, vipmotoz, is going to do the re-seal for me free of charge! I'm hoping that will be good enough to prevent any moisture getting in. I'll keep everyone posted!

    Thanks guys!
