Default Retrofitters, need advice...

Hey guys, I've noticed after it last rained hard that my headlights are getting condensed on the inside and it dries and looks ugly. I'd like to take them apart and clean them, like they do when retrofitting projectors. However, when I go to put them back together, what do you guys recommend for preventing the condensation from coming back? I've heard silicone, but how and where do you apply it? Any other suggestions? I look forward to hearing your responses, thanks for your time!

Butyl rubber. You can get it from theretrofitsource. It's the same stuff used to deal them from the factory.

If anyone has any retrofit headlights for a 2gs I am in the market. I would prefer ls430 but would consider most depending on price. I would have started a wtb but I don't have enough posts yet..

I'd rather pay someone on here to retrofit them or buy lights and try it myself.
