The covers are in place and I went over all the seals with a 4X magnifier to try to figure out where the water might be getting in. Each time I removed the lights, I noticed that the rubber bezel that goes around the entire enclosure seems to collect and hold water along the bottom of the lens. I noticed that the lens looked like it may no be completely sealed to the body of the enclosure, hence the silicone treatment. I guess, once I have some time, and if they still leak, my last ditch attempt (prior to replacement) should be submerging them in the bathtub.

Hopefully, I won't have to take them out a 7th time!

Thanks!
