Headlight Condensation

I got a problem with condensation in my headlights. I got whalen stobes drilled into my lights so im not so sure that im going to be able to keep out water period. Is there a method out there that i can do time to time to get rid of all the condensation? I know i saw a thread a while back with the topic but cant find it.

i would use some type of silicon around where the strobes are to keep the air from getting inside.

might I ask why exactly you have strobes drilled into your headlights in the first place?

I had the stobes done at a shop that did a few other things but the strobes that i have are Whalen's so they are the size of a turn signal bulb. Not too small

What I mean is....WHY? wouldn't strobe lights in your headlight housing have a couple of downsides?
1. illegal
2. blinding oncoming traffic

Having your stobes on anywhere are illigal. Its for show or "off puplic road uses." Basicly the same thing with underbody neons around here in the North East. You cant uses them on public roads

not exactly. if the underneth bulbs are in clear site then they are illegal, otherwise they are not illegal because it would be a distraction. I believe im right but maybe im wrong.

Strobes are chillin though, especially messing with friends. i got a hyper relay connected to the turning lights right now and with some quick-action flashing of the high beams, still scares the crap out of em.
