Silicone. There should be a tutorial here about baking the headlights.

Just make sure you put plenty of silicone in after you bake them, you can wipe the excess off of the lenses, we just need to fill all of it.

Sorry to hear about the leaks

Silicone works but take your time

I would just spring for the blacked out housing lamps that come presealed...slightly ricerish but they are sealed well
