How will drilling holes keep condensation out? The whole point is to keep moisture OUT. I figure if I drill little holes in the side lights it will make them fog up like crazy!

condensation is evaporating water. If the holes are drilled, the water will have a way out, and the Headlights will not "sweat" inside. You may get some in there still, but it will dry out very quickly

Yea I baked them like said for 3 minutes exactly then had my dad push the corner while i pushed on the other part of the light. Can't tell you if THAT helped but it sure didn't hurt. Then I siliconed the piss out of the headlights. So far so good... Haven't had a rain yet but its coming tomorrow I heard.
