i second that

EDIT: if you havent gotten in an accident and BOTH headlights have moisture just try to dry it out first. use a hair dryer and heat the surface of the lens from the outside and then open up the cover in the back and blow air into there with the hair dryer. use the silica packets to absorb small amounts of moisture. then put the covers back on properly. if the moisture comes back then definitely get them replaced by the dealer (which is what i did when i had it in mine).

argh i just took it in today ... they said the moisture isn't obvious enough ...

does anyone have the blueprint or pics of the headlight assembly?

i dropped a LED in there and i was wondering where it went .. i can't see it in the headlight anywhere ... is there a hole in the assembly that will let the LEd fall through ... becuz its pretty big ><

its one of these

i can't see it anywhere in the headlight .. but i did hear it drop down the bay somewhere... but i dunno if it was dropped inside the headlight or outside .. cuz it came off the harness as i was taking it out

i don't want dealer to take out the assembly and find an LED in there ... ><

IF u swap different HID bulbs in the headlight.. THat's ur fault

IF the HID didnt touch anything like swap, warranty will cover it

IT could be a ballast moisture can cuz headlight moisture

There are many way to figure out what cause the moisture
