Water in Headlights Common?
Just curious if anyone else has run into this problem. I went and washed my car this pass weekend and today (5 days later) i can still see moisture inside my drivers side headlight and drl lights. Not sure how it happened. I have never messed with my lights in any way to give me a reason as to how water could get in there. Anyone else ever have this problem? I will be taking the car over to the dealer to have them look at it.

This has happen to me on my 06 gs 430 they change my headlights three times already I think that there is something wrong with the factory that is making them .I don't mind cause I get new headlights every time until they get it right . And they should change the HID box too everything should be new .

Both of mine had condensation in them but the dealer only changed one. they told me it was because i removed my splash sheilds from under my fenders. i ended up just sending both of them out and get them painted and resealed.

I had the same issue last weekend. Washed my car and the right front light got condensation in it. By the next morning it was gone, but there is obviously an issue. I am going to wash it again tomorrow, see if I get condensation, then drive it straight to the dealer if I do.

this happen to my gf's 06 is250. if you still have warrenty go to the stealership and get it replaced. it doesnt matter if it goes away or not there should not be any moisture in your headlights at all. i agree with more4my4 the sealant the factory is using is defective.

if the housing isn't airtight, there's gonna be condensation.
with the swivel lights, there's gotta be an air gap somewhere where water vapor can get in maybe

i did a lot of study on the 2gs headlights when i owned the car. there are gaps around the headlight housing, thus why a lot of people had condensation problem. in most cases, the moisture will go away pretty fast so it's ok. but in some cases the condensation is very extensive and they don't go away, that is an issue
