Moisture in headlight

[Isosceles]

I have just put new dual halo projectors in my 318 and have moisture in my drivers side blinker and it's a one piece light so what do i do if i can do n-e thing

just wondering.. Is this caused by washing the car with hot water???

Yea more than likely that's what i think i just had the car painted and when they buffed it the washed it afterwasrds so i think thats what did it

If you over tighten the screws that hold the headlight assembly in place, this apparently can cause water build up.

Don't ask me why - I am not entirely sure. I think the design allows for the condensation to get out, but if held in too tight then the vapours can't escape.

that happened with my headlights and i put silicone caulk around them (on the parts that arent visible when the hood is down) just around where the glass meets the plastic on the top.

i just got some new ones - they make the car look alot better....i suggest investing in them!

I know when you get sitting water in a light..they drill holes in the bottom for the water to drain out. I dont know if this would help or worsen the moisture problem.
