lol if you think about it, it seems almost impossible that they can leak, unless they had a bad seal from the start, or you pryed out the groove it sits in. get some of the stuff i told you, apply a little bit around the edges, and sandwich the lens back on, heat it up and smoosh it down with some clamps for that ultimate factory like seal.

They don't fog up too bad, just a little. And flat black is the way to go for sure!

Rep Power: 236 May be too late now since you already blacked out your lights, but here is something that may be of interest. If you want to seal your lights like oem Nissan makes OEM Headlight Sealer. Can order it from your Nissan dealer or order online at performancenissanparts.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=766. This is what I'm going to use when I retro my lights with HID Projectors.
Your lights look good!

It came out good. But i used the 3m product just like the oem uses. It never dries and is gummy as hell 3m window sealer i believe. I have had it blacked for 6+months during the winter and zero fogging.
