    I've always run a bead of clear silicone around the entire thing where the lens meets the housing even on "new" ones. Never had an issue after that. The only other thought I have would be that the rubber gasket around the light blub retainers isn't as tight as it should be and lets moisture into the housing.

    Thanks for the comment on the gasket FordMan 77.
    I took the entire unit out again and checked it, it looked OK and when I put it back in, it no longer gets moisture in it. I think it is the gasket around the socket. By pulling it out and installing it again I think the gasket sealed better. The gaskets look OK.
    Can those gaskets only be replaced, or do you have to replace entire socket assembly?
