Default Moisture In Headlight

I have an 02 Civic EX. Yesterday, I noticed that the driver side headlight has condensation or moisture inside the headlight on the lens. Anyone know if I can repair this or should I just start searching Ebay for a new headlight? Thanks!

is it oem headlight or did you open it to blackhouse?

regardless when that happens i just take out a light bulb and hair dry it out...it only happens in the winter for me...

or if you feel like doing something you can reseal it yourself...

There could either be an issue with the housing sealant, or the rubber mating spots at the bulb plug housings. And if that is the case.......

Yes... you will need to remove the bumper to get at the bolt that holds the headlight to the radiator support.

Remove headlights...

Clean them out of condensation/water

Reseal them with GOOD sealer to eliminate a future problem.
