Water inside euro headlight

If you have aftermarket HIDs, they will probably tell you no more headlight replacement since you modified the rear dust shield cover.

Just to let everyone know... my headlights (right) has water in it AGAIN!!!! Seems that getting them replaced won't fix it... sigh... this time i'm in more trouble because i drilled holes in the dust cover to install HIDs "properly" thinking those new lights won't leak.. but bummer....... i'm gonna take it to the dealer with the HIDs in. If they chuck a sh*t i'm gonna buy some new caps and take it to a different dealer. Is there anyway for them to blacklist a car?! Hope not...

Even if it dries out by itself (which I'm praying for), I just can't get the dealer to put those clips on. They say it's a "new" headlight and shouldn't leak.

If you turn up with the modified dust covers they'll tell you no way for replacement.Buy the dust covers and then go see them.

Yeah, Ive got it on the drivers side too. Will tell them about it at the next service.

i just came home from national park and i have the same problem >.<

Yeah I just did my 40,000k service today and noticed on the invoice that there was a recall, they changed some clips apparently that stops the water. Its a recall not a warranty issue.

Even with stock halogen, my headlight was fogging sometimes. It just a factory defect I guess.

It dried out!!! It gave me a scare. Only problem now is that the low-beam projector lens has "cataracts" like a film of steam over the lens.

Not sure if it's worth paying to get the clips put on.
