I had at one time a new 1988 custom softail Harley that the signal lights on the ftont kept fogging up after a rain. I finally drillied a small pin hole in the bottom of the lenses and the problem was soleved. Funny thing was I sent the fix to Easyrider magazine and they printed it as though it was a great idea, along with my name. Ha ha so funny.

 

Perfect timing, mine is doing it to. Back to the dealer.

 

My mechanic drilled a small hole on the bottom of the front headlight and I never got moisture again.

Sounds like a mexican style fix =D

This is actually the way i did my mustang's headlamps when i first got some NOS ones, they no longer make them so keeping the moisture out with little drain holers helped.

hahahaha mexi style...Its ok I did it too in my old ride

Yea Dillusion is correct, GM has a TSB for their vehicle stating that some condensation especially after rain/wash is normal and that it should clear up after 15 mins or so with the lights on and housing should NOT be replaced under warranty. However if the lense physically has a leak and there is presence of water inside, not just condensation, only then will they cover a replacement lense. I found Nissan also has a TSB for this im sure others do as well.

So in my opinion i'd do what Dillusion said lol, don't tell the dealer though lol.

 

yeah my passenger side had condesation in it , dealer replaced it for free

 

Some dealers have said that condensation is normal and will not replace it. They said you need water to physically be inside.

So if you want to be safe and make only one trip spray some water in there with a spray bottle or something.

 

I didn't realize it was such a common problem, I'm getting the same thing. Thank god for warranties...

 

Yup

 

I've already had one front headlight fixture replaced (the passenger side) because of it getting water in it.. It actually blew a few headlight bulbs. The dealer fixed it under warranty at no charge. I'm noticing I'm getting moisture in the Driver's side headlight now too. So when I take my truck in for inspection next month, it's gonna get taken replaced as well.

So pretty much I need to take it into my dealership to get checked / replaced?
