   you probably fooked them. Take the bulb out and blow with a hair dryer in there until it's cleared.

   Unless you take the glass off and reseal them with some silicon they will continue to do this. Probably less hassle than taking the bulb out and using a hair dryer everytime you've washed the car lol

   If you just seal around the edges its going to look messy imo. But in theory it would work yes

   Make sure all the rubber seals and bulbs are sealed in correctly at the back.
