    you probably are gonna wanna take it apart again to get the condensation out, then make sure you seal it up well with silicone.

    i used to have a set of halo's on my 96 civic..the problem with most aftermarket head lights oem style or not is they are sealed poorly when they are made at the factory..beleive me i know i have been thru 2 sets of halo head lights and now i have a set of oem 99-00 Si headlights and they all have leaked on me...the best thing to do is take them out..remove all rubber..put them on a pan..pre heat oven to 200 degrees..bake for 8-10 minutes..then take apart..besure to dry them out really really good and let them sit took apart over night if at all possible..then go buy some real good sealant..i got this fire resistant cocking that you use on fire places because the ehat from your motor will weakin the coucking...so anyways put a thick line of it on them put them back together..preheat your oven to 200 degrees again then set them in there for 10 minutes...pull them out and push the together like hell and if possible set something on them over night...that is a highly recomended thing do to so as the coucing will cure..i left mine out for 3 days and nights...also i did mine one at a time... refer here if you need more help...it is for civic headlight, but same concept... also since you are jsut wanting to take them apart and not paint them, disregardthe painting part.... http://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=282131
