Waterproofing/sealing lights

[Bbelle32]

In search of guidance, tips, tricks or just general suggestions on how to best waterproof some after market lights.
I have fog lights and a light bar installed already on my Bronco. They got water in them (not just condensation) and before putting on the replacements I would like to put a sealant on them to help with keeping water out.
Anyone know of a good sealant to use on the lights? Or any other advice.
Thanks!!

Hmmm, buy some waterproof lights, like any decent quality brand? Pay once, cry once...

Thanls for the obvious advice....any recommendations? I thought I had bought some quality waterproof lights from IAG. Finding out the hard way they are not what they say... which is ok, just trying to be proactive before installing the replacements they sent me.

If a company sold me lights for the Bronco, I hadn't damaged them in any way, and they got water in them I would consider them defective and expect a warranty replacement.

The Bronco is gonna get wet and dirty.

I don't know much about mid range of los end off road lighting. However at the high end both Baja Designs and Rigid make the "buy once, cry once" lights.

Totally agree with @Haelous as well

Yes, I did have them send me replacements. I am hoping to prevent any future need of getting another replacement.
I'm new to all of this, so learning as I go and just seeing if any friendly Bronco owners had advice to help with what I have now.
