yeah.. more silicone should do do. i blacked mine out and when i put the silicone on, i put the headlights in the oven so the old silicone and the new silicone can melt and fuse to form a stronger air tight bond.
jk......yea just open them up again and put a shitload of that stuff on, make sure none gets inside tho

Rep Power: 260 open them up, let them sit for a day or throw them in the oven to dry and then use silicone and let that dry and then apply MORE silicone to that! you will be good!

Rep Power: 260 yeah, go to wal-mart, in their painting section (for house paint) there is a little section for adhesives. i used "Heavy Duty WELDER Contact Adhesive" i have no problems with that at all and i inspect them every time i work on my car and it has holding up remarkably! cost: under $5

Rep Power: 811 no headlight is air tight. the bulb sockets still let in moisture especially in humid areas. even stock headlights will fog given the right conditions.

Rep Power: 260 if you throw them in the oven to give them a quick dry, do it on the LOWEST setting no more than roughly 120 degrees...i have a warm setting on mine. i would not let them sit in the oven for more than 10 minutes at a time. another way you could do it is use a hair dryer set on HI and just do it by hand.
