Headlight condensation
So I noticed it only on my driver side headlight after I washed and waxed the car (thanks for the help Sevenevez, that Griots orbital is amazing!!!) I did a search and it was mentioned about resealing the headlight. Is that the only way to get rid of it?

Because of the age of these cars, they develop random minor issues from time to time. I've had the headlight condensation a couple of times last year (mostly during heavy rains). But now it's gone away just as mysteriously, and I've had some heavy wet snowfalls with temps all over the place.
My drivers side door look actuator wouldn't for some reason last year. I don't know if it's because of moisture getting in there when I had the windows slightly open to vent heat during the summer and it rained before I could close them. That went away too. The actuator's back to normal.
It's just stuff you have to put up with, on a used vehicle.

Yeah that's what my thinking is. Parts do get worn or something inside gets sticky, but there's always the possibility that things clear themselves too.
When I had these issues my first impulse was the same as everyone else: gotta tear things apart and fix it right away. But sometimes waiting it out can provide results too
Love the red color on your GS btw.

If you have condensation after you wash it, pop the hood and the cap off the bulb cover. That will help it dissipate faster.
Sucks I have to deal with this with a car with 52k.
My dads MR2 Spyder with 25k does it as well.
Seems like age is surely a factor. Both cars are 01s.
