Need Help, clear corner taking in water........

I just purchased a set of diamond clear corners and one of them isnt sealing properly. It is allowing water inside of it. There is currently water standing inside. Would it fix my problem if i got all of the water out and then sealed it with some RTV silicone around the bulbs and then drilled holes in the bottom of the clear corner? Would this also keep the water droplets from forming inside? All help is appreciated and please share any other ideas you have.

Take the corner back out, or maybe I will, and take the bulb out. Try to dry out the corner, and make a few small holes in the bottom. Then put the bulb back in and seal around it as you said. That should fix your problem I think, because many other people have had the same problem with the diamonds and the altezza lights, and they fix them the way in which you described. Good luck

Man, I sure am glad I put a thin layer of silicone around my clear corners before I installed them!

FWIW, after reading many stories about this problem, I drilled a small hole in the bottom of the housing on each of my clear corners before installing them, and have never noticed any condensation inside.
