headlight unit problem

[tealc1]

Hello all. I have a Problem witrh my drivers side headlight unit. In the last cold spell I found condensation on the inside of the headlight unit, spicifically over the indicatour, although the passanger side is ok. I cleaned the seals behind the unit (the indicator sidelight and headlight bulb cleared the condensation with a cloth and a pair of long nosed pliers to clear out the condensation.

All was fine untill yesterday when I hand washed my car at home. this morning I noticed the condencation had returned. Since the seals hadn't been touched since I cleaned them and put them back in I assumed it was the seal between the headlight glass and the rest of the unit. I removed the unit and I put some silicone sealant over the join and now the problem wont go away! I keep cleaning out the condensation with the long nosed pliers and cloth but now it wont stay clear for more thas 2-3 hours before about 90%of the unit is coverd. the headlight unit infront of the sidelight and headlight bulb are swiched on.

Can anyone sugesset a means to fix the problem, preferably without replacing the unit, unless its the only option.

Thanks for any help in advance.
