add more silcone all around the edges, coat that shit on there thick as hell on every seam you can see. also make sure theres a good seal where the bulbs go into the headlights.

You could use a heat gun and melt the glue and push it together firmly again....to get rid of the condensation inside just take a bulb out and use a heat gun/hair dryer to dry the inside out through the hole.

just park your car out in the sun, or leave your headlights on and let the heat evaporate the water

I've had this problem with our TL. A lot of condensation built up on the lens, I ended up having to reseal the driver side light.
