take out the bulbs and take a hair dryer to it to dry it out... then go get soem gasket sealer and just put a new layer of sealent on top of the one that is allrdy there. make sure u push it in and fill all the cracks. let it dry over night then put it back in ur car and u should be good to go

I already posted an answer for you on the club.

Our projos have drains so just leave the headlights on for a bit and they will dry out.

I've been there before.

I can't recall if its on the bottom or top but they is a little grey rectangle on the aftermarket headlights, slap a piece of duct tape over it, its like a screen that allows them to breathe but allows water in when you hit it at the right angle.

I also taped a piece of paper towel to a coat hanger that I bent even, and went through the singnal marker hole so I could get the dried water marks off the inside of the lense
