Thumbs down Headlight condensation

Lil Deuce you may be able to help me since we have the same headlights. I got my headlight I'd say 2 weeks ago and understand that some condensation is normal. At first my right headlight's condensation is gone, but now my left one still has it, is it normal or is there a defect?

I'll post some pics in a moment.

Condensation means a non-proper seal. You can ask the company about it, but it shouldn't be normal.

Did you recently wash it?
I have the same headlights, and the same thing happens after a car wash, it will go away in a day or so though.

As chibi said it means an improper seal, I plan on resealing mine when I have more time this summer.

It will disappear with time. Short of taking your headlight apart and resealing it I don't believe there is a whole lot you can do.

I've noticed this seems to be a common problem for members here. I would get a hold of the palce you bought them from and see if you can get an exchange or something. Like others have said its normal and the lights arent sealed properly

Just get some clear silicon sealer from autozone and run a bead around where the lens meets the housing. It fixed my issue.
