moisture on clear corners

i bought mine on ebay(didnt think it would matter) for 30 bucks. i cant get rid of the moisture and even water goes inside when it rains or when i wash my car. i took them off and sealed them all around with silicone but didnt seem to work. does anybody know where i can buy any that dont do this, or if you guys have some and have not experienced this problem, please tell me what kind you have!!!
thanks!!!!

just ordered a set of the diamond clears for my z. hoping they dont have moisture probs. the only prob i see with them is the vent on the back side. i know the stock ones arent vented. so moisture could be gettin in there.

have you checked around where the bulb goes in to make sure its sealing right?

If that isnt it some people have drilled holes into the bottom and that seemed to work for them

Bingo!! That's where all my water was coming in, not where the lens seals to the housing. I have DRLs and those things warp the bulb opening. The last set I had, Diamond clears, I put silicone between the bulb and housing and water never went in. I went thru 3-4 sets. Now it's stock again because of an accident and also because I like the orange glow, it's much brighter than clears.
