Headlight condensation?
I've had my headlights retrofitted and all was running well until recently my headlights started to condensate and its just the passenger side.
I've tried to reseal it twice now and made sure there no holes unfilled. It doesn't have as much condensation now as it is shown in the picture (which is before I resealed it) but even after I resealed it, it still has some fog on the interior of the lens. Usually the condensation starts near the end of the light and works it way to toward the middle, wondering if anyone has suggestions or any other ideas on how to solve this problem? Thanks in advance. |

Man sorry to hear that. What kind of sealant are you using?
Also I doubt this is the issue but have you checked the grommet between the bulb and the headlight? |

Rubber butyl and make sure you are giving it time to cure properly
A minimum of 5 hours with clamps around the edges Nick C.

I've added so much butyl rubber, so much that after I put headlight back together it was oozing out the side, hopefully after it cures for a while it will seal up any unsealed areas

If the lens is sealed to the headlight, I'd be looking at entry from the back where the wires come in.
