Default sick and tired of headlight condensation....

ok guys, im fed up with these JDM one pieces on my DA. I've tryed re-sealing them, and buying new bulb gaskets. They have no cracks in them and i don't know how the hell water still gets in them. anyone else have any ideas or tricks i can do? such as maybe drilling a small hole or 2 in the back of the housing or underneath the housing? i don't know, but im just sick of this bullshit

I just had this prob in my EF today. Only it wasn't condensation, but an INCH of water. (Pouring rain like a **** here in INdiana). I took it apart cleaned it up nice and loaded som rtv sealer glue where the glass piece meets the housing. Hoping it does the trick.
