Default Moisture in corner light housings.

I have this problem with my one corner light housings, somehow or another the seal broke. Can anyone think of a way to fix this, or should I just replace it.

I was thinking about replacing it with some cheap eBay clear corners.

If its just a seal you could probably dry it uot somehow then silicone a new seal. No reason to spend money if you dont have to.

Got the same problem myself. I'm thinking of taking the bulb out, letting it dry out or speeding it up with a hair dryer, then sealing it as you said. I also know ppl who's lights have vented themselves a week later to so play it by ear.

it's been like this for a month now. That's why I'm almost worried about it molding in there

I have this recurring problem on some factory headlights I cleared out. They get just a bit of condensation in them after it rains. Haven't felt like dealing with out so I take out the corner bulb for about 10 minutes and it dries completely out. I would suggest doing that and then putting some good silicone around it.

Short Answer: Do what they said.
