Headlights 99-04

Crystal · 10-05-2005, 09:24 AM

Anyone have problems with collecting moisture? I replaced my headlights with Non-OEM headlights, then took it to the dealer to have the headlights adjusted, since I dont have a flat place to do it around my house. Well now my passenger headlight has started collecting moisture everytime it rains and/or I wash it. I didn't have problems with it before it was adjusted.

I've emptied the water out several times and got it completely dry, but it still continues to collect water. When I clean it out, the water only seems to come out of the vent tubes/ bulb area and no where else.

Any ideas? I'd hate to buy yet another headlight, but its really annoying taking the headlight out all the time to drain it.

If they're glued together you'll have to bake them to soften up the glue so you can pull 'em apart
