Default New Sc300 owner Need Help....

Hello Guys, I just Purchased '92 Sc300 5Speed with 60k miles, the car is clean, and runs like new, but for some reason after the first car wash one of the headlights got steam inside, what can you recommend me to do, the other thing is the airbag light is on, even though the car was never been in any kind of accidents, what so ever, and the last thing is the LCD from the climate control it's half way black, please if anybody knows what to do, help me out please, I would appreciate it thanks

quick tip (newb-freebie from me)

Remove headlights from vehicle
Remove bulbs, metal clips, city lights
Pre-heat oven to 350*
Place entire headlamp on cookie sheet
insert into oven for 3-5 minutes (check it every 2)
Remove from oven using gloves
Pry lens from housing(the oem silicon gives a bit of a fight)
proceed to cleaning all headlamp parts (housing, lenses, chrome housing,etc.)
check vent tubes/filters
**optional**-drill holes in bottom of black outer housing to aid in circulation
clean old excess black silicone
assemble headlamp assembly
re-seal outer lens with 100% pure silicone(zip tie the lens to the housing to ensure proper seal)
Let sit for 6-8 hrs before re-installing to vehicle (drink beer)
enjoy your clean headlights



to polish outside of lens-

wetsand with 800, 1000, 1200, 1800, 2000 grit
hand or lightly machine polish with Plast-X
enjoy crystal clear lenses
