My passenger side headlight has moisture in it all of a sudden. I have done nothing to it. why did this happen? i changed the bulbs about a year ago and have just noticed moisture for the first time today!

take it back to the dealer and show them. they should give you a brand new headlamp under warranty. i got two brand new ones this way. :)

Mine mysteriously had condensation in it after they worked on my engine, not to mention they scratched the hell outta the other light...

when you replace the light, there is a rubber boot. If you take a real good look at it, you will notice there is a tiny little notch and some words that say "TOP". Also, if you feel around the edge of where the boot goes back onto the headlamp, you will feel an
opening in the plastic rim, where the rubber notch goes.

I've noticed this everytime I've had condensation... and I swore to myself I put it on right, until I specifically felt to see if the rubber seal was properly seated.

Your warranty only lasts for so long.

I had the same problem to. I took it back to the dealership and they said the seal had broken. They gave me a new one and I was on my way. I didnt take off my PIAA's and they put it back for me. More than likely the seal broke unless you have a crack in them.

I have had both of my headlamps replaced because both had fogged up, they aren't sealed very well. We noticed this one day when we had the flashlight under the hood lighting towards the headlamp. The light beams went through cracks of the headlamp!

i had the same problem, the dealership said there was a drain valve, or something. they fixed it, and a week later the condensation was gone.

yes take out the bulbs and rubber cap seal thing as they don't give you a new one(there are two for each lamp). just tell them what happened. they will replace it if your warranty is still good
