Default Water in headlight

I've looked around the headlight and don't see any holes in the plex. I know there is a drain hole in the back but this is perplexing. When ever I wash the car (even with out high pressure) the inside of the headlight gets water only on the plexyglass. It usually will burn off if I keep the lights on while driving. Any ideas of where the water could be leaking in?

Default Its leaking around the seal around the glass, most likely.

Fixed mine with some of that flowable silicone sealant they sell for fixing windshield leaks. Run a bead around the edge of the glass.

So don't take out the headlight. Just do the bead with headlight in place?

Thanks.
