Re: Headlight Problem
A lot of people will put those packets that come in shoe boxes in the headlights to soak up moisture.
You have a leak- either where the bulb goes into the headlight or around the seal of the headlight itself. Locate and run a silicone bead across it to seal it up.

bake them open and take apart, dry out the insides completely, then reseal by adding 3m butyl windoweld ribbon in the channel where the stock goo is. heat up one section at a time with heatgun and clamp the halves together tightly til it cools. make sure you use alot of butyl. you can put some around the outside too when youre done but it isnt necessary. also make sure the turn signal socket is sealing with the rubber o-ring. sometimes water leaks in from there.

Yes. If you dont wanna take the headlights off your car, fixing this issue probably isnt something you should tackle. There are DIY's in the DIY section for taking the headlights apart.. I'd seach "BOH" or "Blacked out headlights" DIY's
