2003 Headlight condensation

shevais · 02-07-2005, 08:56 AM

So i just noticed that on my right headlight i have condensation built up inside the headlight assembly. There are no obvious cracks in the assembly or anything, i was just wondering if anybody else has had this problem and has a solution, or if i should just drop it off at the dealership and have them fix it.

thanks

I have that problem too, I thought it was because I swapped out my bulbs for silverstars and they didn't seal right. I'm not sure but it was also a wet weather period and know a month later is gone. I'm keeping an eye on it to see when it happens again but so far nothing. I was not going to take it to the dealer, you can remove the bulb and get a rag on a coat hanger or something to remove the moisture.

If you still have warranty, take it to your dealer and get the lamp replaced.

There is a TSB on this. I just saw it last night. Go to the NHTSB website for more info. Should be warranty item.
