k... This is what ya do.

First... Take them off your car.

Take a close look around them to see if there are any cracks... Also, Look to where it is attached (where the silicone is) see if any silicone is missing or if its opening?

Take out all the bulbs, and take a blowdryer and put it facing into the headlight with the heat on, and get the moisture outta it. Now, sometimes when you do this there may be water marks, if there are and you arent happy, u gotta put em in a microwave (320 degrees for 8 minutes) and take em apart and clean the inside, then put em back together =\

If there are no water marks and you are happy that there is no more moisture in em, go to a hobby store and get some Kitchen & Bath water proof silicone, and put 1 to 2 beads of silicone around the sealed part

if problem happens again, then get new headlights.
Hope this has helped
