Default Headlight Issue...

We a pretty good rain about 2 weeks ago.. The GS was outside and the next day the lights were full of moisture.. First time this has happened.. Probably from the 100% humidity down here in FL.. Well, the driver headlight has clearned up but the passenger side still has some moisture on the light but the Chrome on the bottom of the light has all these lines that look like its cracked or something.. Is this from heat? Any idea on what to do? New light perhaps

Thanks

This is a pretty common issue with these cars. The older they get, the more prone they are to getting moisture in the headlights. Silicone will do the trick

You can buy just the chrome housings and replace them and reseal the headlights with clear silicone. I think I saw a set in the 2GS Classifieds.
