YES!!  FOR FRIGGIN' MONTHS!!

DID EVERYTHING!  NEW GASKET! NEW SEALING CLIPS!  FLOATED THE GLASS OVERNIGHT 
LOOKING FOR HOLES!  TRIED PETROLEUM JELLY!  REBUILT THE LIGHT A DOZEN TIMES!


Finally - don't know how - sealed it.  Worked for a week.


THEN THIS DAMN WOMAN COMES FROM NOWHERE AND SMASHES INTO THE FRONT OF MY CAR!

GUESS WHICH HEADLIGHT SHE SMASHES???????????????  

(On the Cibies, look _very_ carefully at the outboard end of the plastic 
 injection moulding.  It's actually _two_ mouldings forced together.  I believe 
 that they get _very_ fine cracks down here.)
