Yeah pretty much. You have to tke them apart and clean them and then reseal them but this time use TONS of silicon.

somepeople say you can just get a blow dryer and blow it

You could look around the seal of the light and see if you can spot where the moisture is getting inside and just put some more silicone it that spot. You could just run another bead of silicone around the outside of the seal. It would probably be best to pull them apart and redo the seal. I know I put so much silicone on mine that when I pressed them together it was squeezing out everywhere. It's easy to trim away though.

Your best bet, like everyone else said, is to do it all over again.

Just go to Pepboys and buy a water proof silicon sealer and re seal it. I used that stuff a year ago and no leaks.

Take the light off, use a blow drier and blow air through the headlight bulb hole till condensation is gone, reseal! That is it!!

THanks for all your help peoples..Im going to reseal this weekend..One more question though, What would be better...Taking my headlights apart(again:cry[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG] and Cleaning all the silicone out then reseal it with a whole lot of silicone...or just not take it apart..blow dry it then jus put silicone over the outside..???
