cONDENSATION IN headlights

I noticed some condesation in one of my headlights...there are no cracks in the glass. I think it was caused by the heat from baking the paint on my fender last summer after I had it repainted. If I leave it like this will the light be ok? It won't burn out will it?

yeah dude, if you cleared your headlights then it's because of the silicone that you used to seal the headlights together. It happens to alot of people. YOU ARE NOT ALONE! I suggest you re-seal those headlamps.

yeah, if you did clear them before, then take them apart again, blow dry all the moisture out and reseal it well.....i had to do this twice til i got it right.....if you didnt clear em, take it back to the dealership.....i wouldnt suggest leaving them the way they are....if anything, it looks nasty
