Butyl sealant over silicone definitely.

You could try tossing a couple of new silica gel desiccant packs in behind the bowl (the kind that come with cameras and electronics.

The hole trick will work best . This is how I have modified my foglights . The hole will allow air to circulate inside the housing and cool the inside . The trick is not to puncture the reflective surface .

I'm not sure what the Sedan headlights look like , but if it were my LB I would drill holes on the TOP of the headlights in addition to the hole in the bottom. Actually I would drill some 1/16 or smaller hole(s) into the place where the hood meets the headlight . There is a lip (on headlight its clear in color ) that forms a 90 degree joint with the hood . Drill the vertical side into the headlight . You won't be able to see the hole(s) with the hood down .

With holes in the top and bottom the air can circulate much better and the hole in the bottom provides a place for water to drain .

Actually buying new headlights would be the easiest way .

Take the bulb(s) out,dry the inside of the unit out and then use a product called snow seal...its for boots and outdoors stuff.It's beeswax....you apply it,use a hairdryer to make it "run" into cracks and crannies,then it solidifies/sealing the area.
