This isn't really the reply you are looking for since I havn't done this yet.. but the way I was going to do it was put silicon around it, let it dry, stick them in the oven again to heat it up. Hopefully doing that will get the silicon into some gaps, then do that process a couple more times.

Make sure the evaporation hose is attached and facing the right direction

I would scrape off as much of the old stuff as possible using the oven method. Then put some silicone rtv sealant on quite liberally and stick them together. This is how I cleaned and resealed my old ones and I have had no problems since last year.

Lets clear something up.....have you opened the headlight, and want to know how to re-seal it, or is the "new" replacement headlight getting condensation worse than the old original one?

If the latter, then check the seal on the bulb, and make sure the evaporation tube (black vent tube) is present and positioned right.

If its the first, then take it apart and just re-seal it with clear silicone. There are several FAQ's on this too, so do a search.

I fixed my headlights with a big hint from Planet Soarer. There are two vents: cover one hole with your finger and blow through the other ( I used some vacuum hose). Apply soapy water around the edges of the lights and mark where there is a bubble. Dry everything off cleanly and apply the sealant where marked. Let it set overnight and do the soapy water test. Put the vents back in. Also apply some dielectric grease around the edges of the bulbs. Mine are now water tight.
