Unhappy Moisture in Headlights, i give up..

2 days ago, i spent over 2 hours on my 95 thunderbirds headlights.. Between taking the whole headlight's off, cleaning them out inside (small tower attached to a hanger to remove water) to COMPLETELY sealing the entire assembly with goop plumbers silicone-not ordinary silicone, this goop stuff turns much harder than regular silicone. I went over it twice-to make sure to seal any air bubbles, AND i sealed a little 1/16th inch hole i made months ago to drain the water that accumulates over time. How the hell is this moisture getting in?? The actual bulbs are nice and tightly pushed in-with a good seal to.. I think i just gotta live with it..

At least my headlights look brand new, took off ALL that ugly yellow oxidation crap with 800/1200/1600 grits, then buffed it shiney with a drill and some mothers plastic polish..
