headlight issues, water leak Options

[klm317]

i just got my 95 celica gt hatch a few weeks ago and i knew that the left bright had a small leak somewhere because there was some slight moisture in it, so i made a post and was told to just use a blow dryer to dry it out. well, we've had a lot of rain lately and i washed it for the first few times(generally once a week if i can), and now i have over 1/4inch of water in the light. so i figure i prolly have a bad seal, but i don't know the best way to take care of it. i could silicone the headlamp shut, but what goes into removing the lamp to do that? any suggestions out there? need to fix this quick bc i don't want to ruin the plastic of the lamp or my wiring thanks in advance

If your still having a problem then that means you obviously didnt seal it right. The answer you got in your other post kcizz is exactly what you need to do. I had this problem, and all i had to do was remove the black gasket, and then i just threw some clear silicone all along the glass/unit. Then put the gasket back on and put more sealant on that part. Works like a charm.

the key, i guess, is to seal it right
