Parrot... I've had the lights completely disassembled 6 times. The last time, I ran a bead of silicone around where the lens meets the housing... still leaks! I have just (as a last resort, ran silicone around where the front of the housing meets the rear (in addition to the factory seal). It will be a real project to get the enclosure apart again, but I am at the point where, if it doesn't seal this time I will probably just chuck the damned things and get some other headlights.
As it hasn't rained here (only snow (Oh Joy!)) since my last sealing attempt, I'm not sure if the problem has been solved... will have to wait for warmer weather.
Raymond... I am interested in your OEMs, but am currently at a dismal point in finances due to my having to replace glowplugs (and assorted broken bits along the way) and my blower fan regulator. I really love the way this car drives and the feel of quality, but it seems that I've been dumping about $300/month in repairs. I'm hoping this will taper off as time goes by, else I will proably be forced to sell the beast!
