Ok using the boat analogy, try this. The boat is already full of water,on the bottom of the lake. You cover the boat with a water tight balloon, then drill two holes. In one you insert a pump that pumps air into the balloon, forcing the water out the other. Eventually the balloon floats to the surface.
Thankfully your lights are tied down to the truck...however the water trapped in them that drains in from the fender runoff will drain out if deep enough. Then low pressure from the the air UNDER the lights when the truck is moving will suck the rest of it out and keep it dry.
Well, its worked for me the last two + years. Before that I was eating Silverstar bulbs after every major OK rain storm. I noticed the water was almost a half inch deep in the drivers housing after one gully washer. Having done this mod to other vehicles over the last 3 decades, I went and grabbed my drill. I't's not about turning your housing into swiss cheese. but makng sure it breathes just enough.
One hole might be enough for moisture, but I had to drain some serious flooding off.
Colton...I just reread your posts...and NO WHERE did I suggest you drill ANY holes in the TOPS of your housings! Now I know why your friends are questioning my intellegence!
You will need to fill the holes in the tops ASAP! That will NOT work...ok?
OMG, talk about overthinking. I don't know whether to LMAO, Cuss as only a Father can, or continue to shake my head in disbelief.

the analogy is this: ... drilling a hole in something that shouldn't have any to begin with bc its a completely sealed object is a temporary fix bc it shouldn't have a moisture problem to begin with ... ie a headlight shouldn't be getting water in it ... much like a boat .... so drilling a hole in both will help drain the moisture out BUTTT also has the ability to allow even more moisture in it
if you read the original post he got them fogged up with moisture after a car wash ... which means he has a lens that has a bad sealing problem and by drilling holes you just made a bad situation worse ..every time he washes his truck he's going to get more moisture in it while yes it will have ability to drain out this is like putting a bandaid on a broken bone not fixing the actual issue to begin with
