if one clogs up, you get condensation.
Also, typically the lens is bonded to the back shell and if the seam is compromsied, water comes in.
Of course, if it is cracked .. moisture.
Cure is to remove the headlight, inspect, correct.
now, if they got a built up of haze inside, easy fix. a couple shots of WHITE VODKA, tripple distilled, will remove any oils or haze from the inside surfaces, does not leave deposits OR residue.
do not rinse with water, deposits will likely remain.
cost to replace ... OUCH !
going rates for ANY headling assy, $300 to $800; used / new.

ok tried working on it but it seems to be out of my range. sounds simple enough but im too big to get my hands down in it and i also feel weird about pulling parts off a 50k $ car. so are theyre any quailified techs willing to fix this for me on the side or better yet willing to trade? im a professional tattoo artist with 9 years expierence in a well established shop in baltimore maryland. i can tattoo in any style. please helpi draw pictures on people not turn wrenches. thanks mike
