Water is condensing in my headlight
Wassup guys,
My headlihgts were cleared earlier by me and I did a pretty poor job. Before, I used to parked my car in the garage and I never knew there are water condensing in my headlight. I thought I did a job job of resealing the headlights. But now that I have to park my car outside, I have water condensed everywhere. This is not good. Any suggestion on how to prevent that from happening beside take out the headlights and reseal with some silicon glue? Is there any electrical problem I should worry about?
Also, I have passed the 45000 miles mark and the maintenance sign is coming out. Can I just skip it and wait till it reaches 60000 then do a maintenance check at that point? Will anything happen to the engine if I don't?
Thanks.....

My two cents.....
For those of you that live in a humid or rainy climate, I would suggest taking a sealable Rubbermaid container (big enough to fit both headlights), and leaving them in there for at least 24 hours with a dessicant (somthing like Damp-Rid).
It is not a case of the cleared hedlights not being sealad properly.
If you trap air that has 90% humidty in the headlight space, sooner or later there will be condensation on the inside.
Not operator error...just pure physics.
