Default lighting fogging

hi there new to this , so bear with me

i have just bought a 2006 Honda accord s type well a few weeks ago
it has now developed a whistling noise from the dashboard while driving
i have turned off the climate control , but the whistle is still there?
it is not a continuous whistle just every now and then , but is bugging the hell out of me ? any ideas folks is this an airleak from heater?

also passenger side headlight has started misting up. have dried this out twice and is misted up again by morning? does this model have the air flow pipes at the back ? if i take the headlight off completely will it go back in exactly the same position or will they need adjusting?

hope you can help

ian

cant help you with the whistling. but the moisture in the headlight can be fixed by drying it out then checking you seals, mostly around where the bulbs go in.

have already tried and dried out on car 3 times , but just fogged up again.
if i take the headlight off the car and dry in the house , my question is will it go back on the car in the same position or will i have to get the headlights adjusted afterwards??

You will need to adjust it a little. It shouldn't be too hard to adjust it with yout OEM adjustment.

Post pic of the condensation, a light mist from time to time in winter months are expected. Dripping water visible is a sign of leak somewhere.

Take the headlights off the car and dry it out INSIDE the house where the humidity is controlled. Run them thru your house heat vent or heat gun, or better yet in the oven
