i cleared my HIDs months ago and the drivers side started to leak BAD. there was water actually pooled up in the bottom. it poured out when i took it inside.
just got done fixing it. baked them and took the front and back apart. put more silicone in the grove and resealed. its raining now so i'll see if it sealed.

You can actually pick up the nice, thick, gooey stuff Nissan uses to seal up the headlights online... Forgot where, though.
