New guy having some issues with moisture trapped inside the passenger side headlight assembly.

Is this common or does this tell me A- I need a new assembly or B- moisture can't leave due to a weep hole being clogged or is there "C" to this issue?

Thank you

Park it in the sun with the bulb pulled out to dry it. Then put it all back together and see where it goes from there.

i pulled mine out a while back & drained & dried it in the sun. i put some rtv over the top of the lens but it started leaking again a while after that. I'm looking forward to new lights at some point :D

Ok, stupid question, does it matter if the hood is up or not?

might as well leave it up for circulation if you don't remove the housing, i suppose

Thanks, I'll pull it out and let it sit in the sun and give it a good looking over.

You can get a new aftermarket assembly for around $49 or less. Will come crystal clear with new bulbs.
