Headlight Question
#3
if you have condensation in your headlight, it's because of a break in one of the seals. the headlight itself is completely enclosed, the only holes being where the bulbs "plug into" the headlight housing. however, those holes should be sealed shut when the bulbs are properly inserted. the only other seal is the one (usually silicone, like a glue) where the clear plastic front and the not-clear plastic rear of the headlight housing join together. sorry for the lack of good terminology but i'm ridiculously tired
so, check to make sure all the bulbs are properly secured in the housing. if they are, it could be that there is a leak in the housing itself (the silicone part).
fyi, you can pull the housing (just the housing, not the bulbs, etc) from the car and bake it - literally - to melt the glue/silicone that seals the clear/not-clear halves of the housing. once melted, the housing can be pulled apart and a bead of silicone applied, and the housing reassembled. it's super cheap to get a tube of silicone and perfectly safe (within reason) to do in your oven at home.
