Don't apply it around the socket.

Ok then Where??? You can't say "Don't apply that ________" then not tell me where to apply it.... I'm not being a jerk, just curious.

I'm sorry. Apply it at the seam where the lense and the housing meet. That is the area where water is most likely to enter the unit.

OOOHhhh so it is doubtful to be a gap in the socket area??? But the reason I am curious is b/c I am using the same housing for my HID's that I did w/ the regular light bulbs and I never had any issues when the regular light bulb was in.... Which led me to believe that it wasn't a problem where the lens meets the housing.

What do you think???

Is it your factory housing? If its an aftermarket unit or even an older one, you can get moisture in there. I'm sorry that I misread your OP as I was at work today. It sounds like you may have to take the housing apart and re-seal them.

Here is the video I was talking about from American Muscle.

They have a great DIY on fixing the problem.

I wouldn't silicone the socket as you wouldn't be able to replace the bulb in the future. Moisture usually gets in from the meeting of the lens and the housing.

Randall, I really appreciate the help that video is great... I mean even I can follow those instructions!!! Hahaha. Well I need to go by and get some silicone it looks like. I have to say this isn't the 1st time this has happened and it is really getting old
