Hello...I had small accident where my front bumper (corner) got nicked...now my right (passenger) side is fogging up. I've tried to seal it again...but with no LUCK! In the process I got ANGEL LIGHTS installed...look and work great...but now there is fog/condensation on the inside of the headlight assembly.
Is there anyone that can help me get this seal back up?

does the crack seem to on the edge or on the headlights face? if its on the end try running a goodsized bead of sealent along the connecting edge of the clear plastic to the housing. Or try baking the light, opening it up, resealing it, then running the bead along the seam.

...Plus the headlight (glass, casing) is not CRACKED or chipped in anyway...can't see any visible cracks either!

when i say crack i dont neccesarily mean a visual crack like it was hit, but somewhere there will be a split that air is seeping in, either a hairline crack or a split along the seam where the sealent has come loose and isnt air/water tight anymore

I had taken it off again and sealed all around the edge (where the sealant is)...I didn't see any cracks or anything in the casing...and was surprised to see condensation in the assembly after I put it back together after the following morning.
