Default Waterproofing fogs

I have a set of Black Magic Hellas. (Insert gratuitous wheeling pic here


Every time I go wheeling where there is a lot of water they tend to fill with water. I havent blown them yet, but I am sure it is a matter of time. It gets in, in the rear of light around the bulb.
What do guys do to seal that area? I was thinking silicone but I am not sure of whether or not that hole is for cooling or not. Not to mention changing the bulb may be a bit of problem. Maybe electrical tape?

I was also thinking about moving them up to the windshield and putting more waterproof ones on my bumper. Any suggestions on a more waterproof type??

Any suggestions?

Thanks

I dont know if sealing the hole would overheat them.

Delta makes waterproof driving lights, might make fogs as well?

Baja designs used to, but i would need to research them more to be sure.
