2002excpe will become famous soon enough
When I cleared my headlights, I used the clear "Liquid Nails". Worked great, no leaks

Personally I'd go with something stronger than silicone. I've taken my headlights apart twice and sealed them with silicone and there's still some moisture in there when I turn on the headlights. It could just be moisture trapped inside, but, I'm not sure.

All I used was clear bathroom grade silicone and it worked great, just put lots on because most of it cant be seen .
No leaks or moisture here either.
