Ok thanks I'll see if I can find one. I like the headlights on my truck, but they get condensation even after I used silicone a few times. I bought them brand-new on e-bay. One other thing I don't like about them is they don't have bulb shields, which I didn't notice in the pictures.

I'm not a fan of any type of covering, it decreases the amount of light..I think I'll just try to find black boating tape and make them black, it would go nice with my black paint.

I don't understand why applying silicone without taking them apart didn't seal them. I put a thick bead of silicone around the lenses and smeared it on with my finger..will taking them apart and re-applying work better?
