Default HID Causing Water in the headlights

Well I had to do it...I added the aftermarket HID's and now my drivers side has moisture in it really bad. I live in Louisiana and it has been raining daily here for most of the Summer but still my passenger side light has had no water in it. The problem is getting the "door" to seal on the back of the lights with the wires entering there for the bulbs. I just noticed what the problem was on the drivers side.....one of the doors came unlocked and I guess thats how it got the moisture. I closed it the other day but the moisture is still there. I turned the brights on and boom....it got rid of the moisture in front of it but still not on the other side. Any suggestions?

Setup a heat lamp aimed at the headlight for an hour or so. That will clear it out. I did this on my old car that got water in it...

Did you drill a hole through the 'door' and snake the wires through? Doesn't sound like it, but i woudl caulk up any areas where there are new holes and/or where the wires meet the doors.
