Default Head light trouble!

Anyone know what would cause one of my headlights to fog up and get condensation (?) in it? It started with my driver side light, so I replaced them. now it is doing it with the passenger side. Any ideas would be appreciated!!

What year is your car? If you have a 99-00 they are really bad about that. Get some 01+ headlights and you'll never have that problem again.

Did you seal the lights with silicon glue?

its probably the gasket on your light itself. My fogs leak too and after I siliconed the entire outer ring, it still does it. ill have to put another gasket in there when i feel like it.

wow!! thanks for the response! I will give your suggestions a try. Also what do you guys think about those projector or HID lights? Are they worth the cost?

Upgrade your bulbs to sylvania silverstars 9007 and 880 and save yourself 300 dollars.

HID = bad

I hate cars that put HID's in that didnt come stock. They look horrible and theyre too damn powerful and blind everyone else on the goddamn road.

Plus the bulbs themselves are around $150 to $200 to replace and if you get pulled over and your car didnt come factory with HID's you can get a pretty fine from Mr. Officer.
