Yeah, the bumper has to come off. And definately seal them with silicone. Mine fog up when we get really heavy rainfall, but I'm too lazy to take off the bumper to pull them out to seal them better, so I just deal with the 2 or 3 days of fogging when it happens. Luckily summer is now over, so the amount of heavy rain days should greatly lower.

seal it up good at first, you shoulnd't have this problem..
but if you do..
take out the light bulbs and put 3 hair dryers to the bitch.

If done properly,.. silicon or any other adhesive won't be needed. I've done 2 pairs of diy's, and I've done a TSX retro ( I had to open my headlights up about 10 times), and I havent had a problem. It's been raining in NY for 8 days straight, and niether lamp has fogged up.
As far as the bumper coming off,...
after you you paint your lights, leave the bumper screws off so you won't have to go thru that again.
