yea so i took my car in today to get my head lights replaced because of a moisture leak and it took 5 hours. Then the guy tells me that i should feel lucky that hes a nice guy because he replaced the lights for me even though the moisture leak was my fault. He told me that i caused the leak because i didnt install one of the baulbs correctly. even though i just got the leak recently and the bulbs have been installed for over a year. Then i get home and realize the bastards brooke one of my 9005's. The tip of the bulb was missing. what should i do with these bastards? i dont want to install bulbs again and cause another moisture leak, and i dont want them to **** up another set.

He could be right. I dont see how else the seal could get damaged? I would say just get a new bulb

Don't it when is raining outside... That can cost the fog in the lights

that doesnt matter if you dont seal it right in the first place. then the seal is not closed and anytime when it rains, ur phucked.

I still find it hard to believe that it would have no problems for a year and then come up out of nowhere. In fact, a lot of people have had this problem from what I have heard, and each time the dealer had replaced the headlights without a hassle. It sounds like Diablo has a really picky dealer.

Agreed, it would seem that Toyota corrected the problem after 00 and into late 01...........................
I had moisture in the headlights without ever opening them...
