underneth the black bezel i glued the silica gel packet to the housing, so far it works out great.

and even tho i put the lights back in the oven for 10 min when i was done, with no sealant and no packets i got condensation almost instantly (and i took a good 20 min per headlight to make sure that they were sealed right, with all clips and what not held down tight. so i went back opened them again threw the gel pack in and ran a silicone bead down. no problems for almost a year
