    So I'll leave them over night and see what happens? U guys think it still have a good seal with just putting silicone on the edges. Without taken it apart??

    Yes.. you DON'T need to take them apart.. just heat them up.. and PRESS them together to make sure they are sealed.. then. Just ADD silicone to the entire edge. Let them sit, overnight, lenses down.

    Well I put it in oven for 2nd time and it's getting bit better, but still moisture so I'll let it sit overnight. And see what happens. There's a few water spots inside the lens so I'll prob end up taken it apart now... Just to clean off the spots.. Less moisture then there was forsure :)

    I have stuck them in the oven to rid the housing of moisture but I found what worked best for me was using a heat gun and using all of the light bulb socket openings to blow in hot air. I assume a hair dryer would work as well but the heat gun is what I used.

    Yes.. times a million! Ask me how I know..

    I would honestly avoid wiping the inside of the lenses at all. I had this issue.. and wiped It down (mistake one).. with cleaner (mistake two) and it left marks and swirls. The black DEFINITELY shows more.. the second set of lights I bought I made sure not to touch the Inside of the lenses.. and they look perfect. IF you have to clean them.. use distilled water.

    Oooh, ok man.. if you have any issues or have OCD like i do, just get another set, and add silicone prior to Install.. cuz there's gonna be a film and you probably won't like them.. atleast i didnt. Maybe you won't care. Lol

    Post some pics when you can. :thumbsup:
