NEED HELP... fogging headlights

I purchased some aftermarket blacked out headlights from an old member from this site

the headlights are not opened and completely sealed all the way around

However, in the back where you put the rubbery thingy, it didn't come with one and he said i have to use the stock one (which doesn't fit at all)

Now my headligths are hella fogged up

HELPPP MEEE

Just make the rubber seal fit. Push and stretch, Or, the same way you seal the lens to the housing whatever keeps it from fogging up

Yes you can blow dry the water through the bulb holes. It will take a few minutes to evaporate. After that you can attempt to seal it back up with silicone. Good luck man.

well I bought mines brand new and everything seems to be A-ok. My friends civic got water inside so I helped him take the headlights apart. After he did that he still got water in one of them. He probably didnt seal it right. His light bulbs die like every week so he just changed back to stock lights.
