Well I got them sealed up! I used RTV windshield weld and it should work. Im going to let them sit overnight and dry. Thanks for the help guys!

I dunked the fogged up one in water and it was leaking in three places! I made sure those were air tight lol

Im about to blow a gasket... put them back on and just drove it and the drivers side light was fogging up. Just pulled it off and dunked it and its still leaking

So im going to put even more silicone on it and see if that fixes it.

you need to clean all that shit off and start over gooping more and more isn't the way to do it what you should've done was test them AFTER you siliconed them up

Yeah I know I should have and im kicking myself for not doing it. I got the spots peeled off that were leaking and reapplied the silicone. I'll test it in a little bit after it dries.

Alright so I gave up on the crappy silicone. May sound weird but my dad suggested to use gasket maker, what the hell why not? Well I have to say (knock on wood) it seems to be working. Im going to let them sit overnight and tomorrow and dry. In the mean time I'll get to drive the Mega Cab

Please pray that this will work! It has been pissing me off all day, so hopefully the gasket maker will work. (fingers crossed)
