Default 96 Civix headlight condensation

I have condensation in one of my stock headlights. I was thinking I would replace the pair with OEM looking housings from Nopi:

Does anyone own this set of these housings or have an opinion on their quality or other recommendation?
Thanks.

What if you just take apart the ones you have and clean them out and reseal them?

What is involved with taking the headlight apart?

I'd remove the headlight from the car and reseal all the way around it (it's worth trying to fix it first).

To get the water out, dump any if there's a big puddle, but otherwise either put it in the oven (there are dangers with burning the housing with that method) or aim a hair dryer in it to evaporate the water.

For $130, it is worth it to me to just get new housings. Does anyone have an opinion on the housings I linked? If they are junk and the only ones worth getting are $400, then I will look into resealing the one I have....
