headlight moisture
try the thick gasket around the main headlight bulb, where it Seals to the housing, mine was loose there and allowed moisture in, i sealed it up and had no more issues. take the headlight off, then remove the large turn signal bulb, blow in and hear for air escaping.
I had the same issue on my right headlight. I did not want to waste time at the dealer so I fixed it myself.
Step 1. Remove headlight. lol.
Step 2. Remove bulbs. Main and turn signal.
Step 3. Use hair blower to dry out the moisture. I personally had it on a few spots so I would take turns blowing air into the main bulb opening and the turn signal opening. Allow the hot air to escape and make sure it is 100% dry inside.
Step 4. Buy clear silicone and gloves. Apply a thin layer of silicone around the perimeter of the headlight. Work slow or you will get clumps that look terrible. I am a neat freak so I took my time to make sure every single gap was covered.
Step 5. Allow headlight to sundry for a few hours. Check again after it finishes drying.
Step 6. Reinsert bulbs, connect plugs.
Step 7. Secure/install headlight.
Done.
