 Subject: Headlights getting moisture? Annoying!
IP: Logged
Message:
I have a 2002 Dodge Dakota and bought these diamond cut headlights and clear corner lights:

I love them and they really add a lot to the truck's appearance. My problem is the passenger side clear corner light keeps fogging up inside, getting moisture and what not. Both headlights and the driver side clear corner light are fine.
I've read they're supposed to be sealed completely to keep out air, but the corner lights have small holes in back. Then I read these were vent holes to prevent fogging. Well whatever the case, it's fogging up and really driving me crazy. I double checked all lamp seals, no go, even trying covering up the vent holes on both sides. Again, same problem. The passenger side corner lens always fogs up while everything else is fine.
Just wondering if anyone has any ideas as how to resolve this. Should I widen the vent holes? Seal them up completely again? ugh.

Just go to walmart or a hardware store and get some clear silicone sealant. Then just spread it across the seems, so no moisture can get in.

I just purchased a 2001 Dodge Dakota with 37,000 miles. I washed it today and the right headlamp now has about 1/4 inch of water in it. How can I remove this and correct the problem?

Thanks low4c. I used a anti freeze tester and sucked the water out thru the hole for the bulb and then went to the dealer . They have ordered a new headlight for me at their expense.
