Yes It Happens Alot ,It happen to my sc400 but since i have the right tools i fixed with no problem the only tool ull need is a heat gun and time,remove the headlight from ur ride and heat up the end of the clear plastic carefully to melt the sealant and apply presure to it while it cools up use a wood clamp...
hit me up if you eneed more info....i think ive got sum pictures

Um.. don't do that again?

There's air vents in the back of your headlight to release moisture and im pretty sure some water was squirted in there. You could try resealing the silicone.. but seeing as yours is a 2005 and only 3 yrs old the silicone couldn't be that bad.

yea just go easy on the power washer near the headlights. the heat from the bulb should evaporate the water and it should escape out the air vents. if not then the seal is broken, but i doubt it
