Default I HATE WATER!!!! Moisture inside headlights

First i have a leaky trunk, then the pool of water in my trunk causes my windows to fog up non-stop.

now my headlight is out, and there is major condensation in both the high and low beam head light units on my cars right hand side. a few questions

1. What exactly do i need to do
2. How difficult/estimated hours
3. how much will the parts cost possibly w/labor if its gonna take too long.

i have the same problem with my drivers side headlights. the lights work but the glass has all this moisture in it. I haven't had any water leak into the car though.

Someone help us.

make sure your headlight bulbs are in there tight. you could also seal it up with some jb weld or RTV, but it'd be a bitch to get the bulbs out later....to get rid of the moisture park it out in the sun one day and turn on both your highs and low beams for awhile and that would dry it out.

happened to me once, hasnt happened since...my bulbs werent in tight, so i parked out in the sun for a couple days and it all went away

Mine seem to get h2o in them in the evening, and the water goes away after a a drive w/the lights on. I think it's beyond getting the water out, I need to keep the water from getting back in. At least that's what I suspect, we'll see tonight if the h2o comes back.

it might be the rubber seal on your bulbs. check that first (big problem with aftermarket bulbs)
