Default Condensation in headlights? solution

About a month ago my headlights were completely filled with condensation and it looked absolutely horribe! So i researched on here and everything i read was to pull them apart and reseal them. Well i remember getting water in my tail lights on a previous car and i drilled holes to get the water to drain out so i thought i would try the same on my car. So i drilled 6 small holes underneath each headlight and in 3 days all of the condensation was out and they have been fine ever since. I dont have my fender liners in either. I will take pictures this weekend of where i drilled the holes. Just thought id share this.

if you ahve removed your fenderliners. you will fight water in lights every time it rains.. the headlights are not fully sealed. my headlights are opened now due to the same thing.. use fender liners.. period.

..anyways..

pics of my condensation issues I went all around the edges with silicone and even let them sit outside at night for an hour...at that point i had no condensation. So i bolted everything up and gave all the tools back to the person i was borrowing from them...bam..when lights are all in and bumper is on....they just fogged up.
