Default Moisture inside headlights front disassembled

My 3 caught the bug:::>condensation/water inside the headlights. I removed the HL assemblies and dried them out with my wife's hair drier, then resealed.
With the grill removed I noticed a lot of debris behind the bumper(packed full to the condenser)
I used a shop vac and compressed air to remove. Then noticed rust on the bumper, inside and out, and decided to go all in. Removed the bumper & cover, and pressure washed the front end along with the bumper cover. High speed wire brushing & sanding on the bumper, then 4 coats of primer/paint. Also touched up any surface rust spots on the front frame supports. During re-assembly I also cleaned/greased the connections/contacts, even though they were clean and working perfectly before.

And how did you reseal the headlights? Did any of the plastic break when you pulled them out?
