hmm the only thing I can think to do is heat the light up with a hair drier to seperate the face from the backing, hand dry it and then seal it back up with silicone glue. Good luck.

I just fixed the same thing on my car. First check to make sure the rubber boots that cover the back of your bulbs are fitting snuggly. Then check the turn signals to see if the fittings are loose. Finally, if all else fails, get a tube of silicone with the little applicator, and put a fine bead of silicone along the seams of the housing where the lense cover meets up with it. It really doesn't take much to do the trick. A lot of times, the factory silicone sort of clumps more in certain spots than others, and the thin spots fail.

If you really want to fix them, heat them up in the oven (look for more instructions in diy or here), take them apart, clean them out hella good. Then get some black silicone and seal it hella good .

Well, since your turn signals are located in a completely seperate area than your headlights on your teg, i'm not even sure as to why that was brought up. Anyway, I've been through 3 sets of headlights on my lude (just changing styles), and have dealt w/ this alot. Just take off your bumper, then your headlight. keep the headlight in your house overnight w/ the rubber boot off the back so the moisture can escape. then, get a tube of clear silicone, make a very small hole in the tip and run it along any area where the silicone looks thin where the lens connects. secure the rubber boots, bolt on, and hope for the best!
