Default ALL 2IS in the SoCal area

just wondering if any of you noticed condensation in your driverside headlight due to the recent rain this past week. i blew dried my headlights earlier and sealed up my dustcap with silicone but when i drove to the dealer i noticed that my headlights had condensation again. i searched the 2IS subforum and it's been known to happen. anyone else have this issue?

read my post, post #6. i used to have it and i did the same thing. i ordered new rear covers and was planning on taking it into the dealer but i decided to give it one last shot and it worked and havn't had any more condensation since. i live in huntington beach so there is always moisture in the air. give it a try, if u want i can give you a hand since you live close. if you still want to go the dealer route, i have an extra dust cover i'm not using if you want it for 10 bucks, i believe its 15 bucks on sewell.

yeah, i was reading through that post actually. i didn't want to have to purchase the silica gels, so i figured i'd go through the dealer with warranty. my only concern is that i'll need two sets in case they look at my passenger side. also, i have condensation in my foglight housings too. i'm hoping the dealer will possibly replace that for me as well
